Is it just me, or does the new BlackBerry commercial featuring U2 look a hell of a lot like an Apple ad? Or, more specifically, the Coldplay Apple ad? 





Ok, so the similarities are rather astonishing, but I think that the worst part is that the Blackberry commercial is very nearly twice as long (1.76x actually), and yet there is less point in the end. so, because blackberry loves U2 I should get one of their phones? The apple ad is specifically for the ability to download the brand new hit Viva la Vida before the CD is out. It is a benefit for Apple and iTunes, and it also is made using a program that Apple is touting. The Blackberry com mercial uses much more time and money for... what? oh, and did i mention the Apple ad looks much better? I was dying for this to be the new Viva la Vida music video and was sorely disappointed. I'd really like to find a way to get an HD version of this ad. seriously. It's a shame they did an excellent ad before and didn't learn from it.


If you follow the Youtube link to the original video, the description is as follows: "as if we need another reason to choose blackberry over iphone" ...um... Where do I start? The fact that the uploader is comparing a line of phones (Blackberries) to a single phone (technically 2 because of the 3g) or the fact that you are stating a Blackberry commercial featuring U2 that is a ripoff of an Apple commercial featuring Coldplay is a good thing? I'm lost... People can choose whatever they want.


But... the iPhone is superior...
