Bury that Blackberry
October 24, 2010
As you may or may not know I am not a fan of the whole blackberry revolution, I feel the same way about hybrid cars, basically I feel that they are just overrated fashion accessories that people feel they need to fit in their espresso drinking social cliques. I digress, this blog is not about the technical specifications of the Blackberry, if you want that just go and Google it, this blog is more of a guideline to the type of people you will encounter or the person you will inevitably become once you get a Blackberry.
There are numerous different types of people you will encounter once you get your Blackberry; I have kindly listed them in no particular order.
The social networking stalker: this person is generally your usual friendly neighbourhood stalker, they prowl cyberspace and social networking sites for potential targets. They often initiate contact with you by befriending you on Facebook and will then pounce on the opportunity to get your BBM pin. When they acquire that they find any possible way to maintain idle chit chat and will even talk about the glorious weather in Durban even though they are in Cape Town. This person becomes so annoying that you wish you could trade your Blackberry in for a black belt.
The Googleomaniac: This is truly a bizarre person who will find absolutely any reason to Google things. They have been known to Google random items they see such as traffic signs, furniture and just about anything that can pop up in a conversation. They have also been known to Google ingredients on the back of their food packaging and even the chemicals in hand lotion...I kid you not. The Googleomaniac is basically a junkie who desperately needs their next fix.
The Golemite: The Golemite is a person who becomes very possessive of their blackberry. They have been known to throw tantrums if someone touches their blackberry. The name originates from the character Golem of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy; the Golemite also feels the need to constantly hold the blackberry and will even refer to it as precious...my precious.
The Serial Spammer: The serial spammer is the last and also the vilest and most twisted type of person you will encounter. Scientists are still at a loss as to why the serial spammer exists but I think in Switzerland there is a theory going around that the serial spammer is actually a sub species of the human race and should be forgiven for their actions as their brain is not as highly developed as ours. The serial spammer sends spa to you for no apparent reason and when confronted about it will give you a look that is a mixture of pride and lust, they are always proud of their spamming work. It is pointless to confront them.
As you may have realised by now( that’s assuming that someone is still reading this) I am not a fan of Blackberries and that is solely because that people seem to believe that the Blackberry is the greatest thing to come out of erm Canada. I find that to be highly offensive because Celine Dion is the greatest product of Canada, the woman is a national treasure and the greatest singer ever, but more on that another day. With that I take your leave and may you all enjoy what’s left of your weekend. Amiel Meghoo
