    PLAY to WIN! Participate in our #PlayBookHaiku contest for the chance to win a #PlayBook! It all starts tomorrow! http://bbry.lv/PBHaiku

    for those unfamiliar with a Haiku it is a short poem that is three lines long, the first line has 5 syllables, the next line has 7 and the last line has 5.

    I'm glad I waited
    Amateur hour is over

    From the small print:

    If the potential Winner resides in Canada, he/she will be required to answer a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, which will be administered by Sponsor at a pre-arranged mutually convenient time, before being declared a winner.
    WTF?!!

    looking through the entries, it seems many don't understand what a syllable is.

    So RIM is really going for it, #PlaybookHaiku is a promoted tag on the trending list.

    I'll probably get my 10 year old daughter to help with the haiku, she'd probably be better at it than me!

    I do't know the story behind the law, but if you can't do single digit math it's not a good sign.
