Blackberry Attempts to Ruin the Beatles and Fails
Author: TomR. | Date: October 14, 2009 | Please Comment!So I’ve noticed this little remixed version of “All You Need Is Love” (which is, by the way, the best song that’s ever been written, Beatles or not), and it took me a day or two to notice that it was coming from my freaking television. (I dunno, it could’ve been my one-toothed sabre-kitty, but it wasn’t.)
Oh, it’s an ad.
An Ad.
That says all you need is love.
What the hell are they selling?
Blackberry.
Listen… if all you need is love, you won’t need a Blackberry. What kind of message did you think you were sending?
Just go ahead and get an iPhone and stop whining about it, OK?
How much money did they spend getting the rights to that song? It’s the least-appropriate advertising song that they could’ve come up with. I’m no marketing genius and I figured that out the second I saw whose commercial it was.
Any idea where I can get a copy of that “All You Need Is Love” cover? It’s actually not bad. That’s something I’m willing to buy. Not a stupid Blackberry…
