Here at Holy Taco, we like to show you
what advertisements would look like if they cut through the bullshit and told you the truth. This week we’re taking a look at a product that we have a fair amount of personal disdain for: the Blackberry Curve, from Verizon. Here’s what it would look like if their ads were honest:
I have an 8830 galactic phone. It’s my second; first one quit. That replaced my 7250 which 5 of them expired in two years, the last one when it stopped working I put it in the microwave for ten seconds. At Verizon they had never seen a failure like that one (where a blackberry actually caught on fire.)
Microwave is near the same freq as telephone, I guaranty there wasn’t a piece of electronics left un-destroyed when I returned that one.
Please somebody actually come up with something better than a BB. I run IT for a big op, HATE the iphone they work terrible with EXCHANGE mail servers at least the BlackBird works good.
I have found if YOU PUT IT IN STANDBY it won’t dial all your buddies and still takes incoming calls.
BOB
That is such a poorly phrased post. It’s a moronic stream of consciousness. I hate you Bullet Bob. I hate everything about you, from your stupid galactic phone to the fact that I now know that a microwave is the same frequency as a telephone.
Thank you.
I don’t know about the Blackberry, never had one, don’t need one. As long as my phone can text and call, that’s all I need. I’m no cool enough to shell out $200+ for something I am going to constantly drop and have to replace within a year or two anyway (iPhone). I got the enV because it was free with contract renewal and it’s green.
I have Verizon, obviously they suck in CA, but in VA it’s literally the only service that has service anywhere, including underground (i.e., the metro or your mom’s cave).
seriously, your gonna say your pocket is so tight it holds the send button and presses the buttons? take off the skinny jeans and become a man.
or the buttons are just that delicate, that even a pin dropping from 2 inches above can press a button.
verizon is the most expensive phone campany, plus blackberry’s suck anyways.
You forgot to mention that the trackball will become utterly useless within 6 months of purchase.
Tons of wasted space? No. Just press the button to the immediate left of the trackball and your screen will fill with icons. Or you can choose a theme that will show all icons by default.
Basic keyboard unlock combo? Not so much. It’s A, then green. Not just one button.
Ridiculously small buttons? Try eating fewer meals at McDonalds, you fat effer.
Terrible service? Yeah, ok, nothing to do with the Blackberry itself, so get a provider that services the bridge you live under.
Exact same body style as before? As what, the 8800? No. Then, what?
Nice try, though.
3 things you need:
1) a sense of fucking humor
2) sex, at least once, with a woman
3) a job someplace other than a verizon kiosk at the mall
yea shut up notastevejob.
blackberry is all the same shit as the last phone and the last phone same fackin style you tool.

@Notastevejobssuckingwhore – You’re on a comedy blog. This isn’t a serious ad. Shut up.
the iphone is for apple humping trendy douches. oh, and you ever try TYPING on an iphone? yea, exactly. i’ll take the blackberry keyboard ANY fucking day.
i like em, better then my last phone
You’re all fuckin’ retarded. It’s a joke ad (a bad one at that)….who gives a shit. I love my Blackberry, but I’m not going to get all Boo-Hoo over a joke. iphone is a cool concept, but who wants to take an hour to type out an email on a touch screen. I’ll keep my QWERTY device and hammer out some real emails. I do love the iphone’s app selection though. I bet if I needed to learn how to artificially inseminate a chupacabra…the iphone would have an app for it.
HYou’re all a bunch of fuckups. I hate all of you :p
Who the fuck is this guy?! I’ll eat your heart for brunch boy! Lol
