Desperate Times Call For Desperate Broadcast Messages?

I'm jumping straight to it f*#k the foreplay (see what I did there?). As all my fellow Blackberry smartphone users know (even most of the non-BB users), the Blackberry internet service was down for the count last night like Hugh Hefner fresh out of Viagra. As you can understand, all hell broke loose. It was pandemonium at ground zero! I'm pretty sure atleast 37 new curse words and gestures were invented last night alone. Few of us that had come to terms with the idea that the heavy data traffic (my way of consoling myself without going all rocking-thumb-sucking-fetal position) might have caught up with BB's servers, or something along those lines, remained calm in the time of panic.

Then there's the other end of the pool; the franticly panicky bunch. These are the people that are quick to jump on the "OMG, the sky is falling!" bandwagon. The same people when an emergency hits and they are told to remain calm, jump up and scream like gay dudes at a Beyonce concert.The very same people that are the first to run at the sound of your neighbour's snarling doberman's growl. You catch my drift. This bunch of people, I'll call them the panic bunch or PB for short, are ALWAYS getting caught up in the illusion of the dreaded Broadcast messages that apparently will fix your BBM troubles if you send them to all your contacts! *slaps forehead* Well, I've got news for you, PB!

I say we break it down for 'em.
Sending a BC CAN/WILL NOT
1. Update your display picture. That's why it was put on your PROFILE.
2. Prevent you from losing all your contacts. Backing them up before you download a new version from App World does that.
3. Update your symbols. App World has an application you can download for that.
4. Give you a new layout. That you only get should the geeks at RIM decide to sleek up the BBM app and then put it up as an update on App World (see the trend here?)
Lastly, BB does not have midnight special updates that they announce; MXit is that way! *points you in the direction of the lost* And for goodness' sake can you people NOT see the blatant and appalling spelling and grammar errors in them bitches?!?! Have some sense man! If you send me one of those again, I'll piss on yo cat! Nxa! *drops mic*

Keep it Cizzlin'!
