    NEW YORK, April 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) � United Vision Marketing Firms CEO announces today that they are making an offer to Research In Motion (RIM) to acquire its Black Berry assets. The decision was made to acquire RIM after a strategy session with UVMF�s board members and consultants and the announcement by RIM�s new CEO of a possible sell of the company. The proposed deal is an all stock swap deal that will position RIM shareholders to be in a greater equity position by swapping for UVMF�s IPO stock price.

    That article was one of the funniest things I've read on here in a while. Just goes to show, unfortunately, how far RIM has fallen when it gets this ridiculous. Check out their website. Looks like something I did when I was learning Front page in 1999 http://www.uvm-firm.com

    Im pretty sure this Dr. Nono guy got his designation at the same school as our man Dre...

    This seems like a similar thing as what happend with the LA Dodgers and the con artist guy that tried to buy them, but forgot that he didnt have any money

    Uh, that is one STRANGE website.

    Found this (and there is sooooo much more)...

    "Most of the proceeds earned from the song will go towards the development of a financial literacy app and a new digital education tablet created by the team at UVMF. The financial literacy app will come preloaded on the tablet that will be given to 1 million students from low income school districts. The firm calls the campaign (Project B.L.I.N.G) Ballers Leading & Inspiring the Next Generation."
