--Gizmodo making fun of the people who are winners in the BB10 CrackBerry contest. Interestingly enough this is the same author who stated the Z10 was hotter than the iPhone.--

A Woman Dancing In a Bikini and Four Other Stupid Things People Did to Get a Free BlackBerry 10

Look people, I know the BlackBerry Z10 looks great, but I just can't believe that some of you are doing these stupid things to get one for free. Ok, five of you.

And I really mean that. I can't believe it. I can't believe that some Deborah St. Pierre decided to dance and pose in a bikini. Or that this man—a Brian Heffren of Middletown, New York—got a freaking BlackBerry tattoo! That would be just beyond stupid, right? Like getting a Zune tattoo or something.

So I'm inclined to believe this stupid contest is a seriously misguided and profoundly sad PR thing.

Someone's bitter they don't get a free Z10....

[jakie55]

Relax, kids. BlackBerry 10 is trending. Gizmodo wants page hits....so they write about it, and people like to read about stupid stuff. That is all.

So, Gizmodo-RIM-BlackBerry HoneyMoon is over :/

Time post hate comments, why do they want to judge us?
Kevin, you should email the person who wrote this.

[gtpointer]

At least they managed to link back to a positive story rather than their usual link back to millions of negative ones. I'm not sure if they realise it's a fan site contest and nothing to do with RIM?

[w0lfgang]

Yeah, what's next? Standing in a line for hours on end for a sub-par piece of equipment that's only popular because the cute commercials have convinced us so? Naaaawwww....only a REAL dumba$$ would do something like THAT....oh....wait....yeah, sorry AAPL fanboys.....didn't see you standing there....in your f****ing line

[w0lfgang]

And....I understand Jesus Diaz must not be into women.....and that's ok....but for those us who are....I'm sorry....HOW exactly is a woman dancing in a bikini "stupid?" I'm not sure I'm following that line of reasoning very well

[overzeer]

So, Gizmodo figures that waiting in line overnight and still having to overpay for a piece of iRepackaged inventions is somehow better than a beauty in bikini and getting an awesome device for free? Who here needs to get a life, again?

Well I am just soooooo happy that Samsung made know that the iphone headphone jack was moved to the bottom. My head almost exploded from that commercial. And I'm glad a Samung Galaxy S3, 4G LTE James Bond batman scotch Steve McQueen lamborgotti fasterossa fox mccloud (that's a mouthful), can use a new thing called nfc because my head exploded from that. Oh wait, I didn't care where the headphone jack was and my BlackBerry was able to do that before the S3 came out. Keep making cute commercials and go stand in line like teens at twilight... Because ive got real things to do

I officially declare war in the comments section of that article!

[DrBit2011]

Thanks guys, u read my mind. The REAL problem here that is attack not only to the people who win, or the BlackBerry brand, is a attack to all in CB nation, cause a lot of us join to that contest, and again, like say before me, way in a line hours and days for a iCrap isn't stupid??

Regards

We know that, Gizmodo writes nonsense.
Except this article, attacked the whole community, that is what angers me.

[SEAWARRIOR]

aside from what side of the fence they usually sit on, they guy actually has a point,,, just read the comments on page 1 associated w/ bikini girl...

[kbz1960]

So who is he dissing? CB or it's members?

[mrfreetruth]

Apple and Google are beyond scared of bb10. Make no mistake about it buddy was paid to make up stories. The propaganda machine is out in full force to brainwash the weak minded masses.

[MADBRADNYC]

Well, a cute dime in a bikini beats out these "dumb" antics every time. IMO.

[soogriff]

Haters gonna hate. All these tech sites have LOVED writing "Blackberry is dead" articles. And for the past few weeks we've seen them flip flop. "Oh this is the next best thing." "This could be a game changer." Puh-LEEZ. I betcha if it works out for RIM, the tone of their articles will change. If, heaven forbid, BB10 doesn't do well, they'll type up "Told ya so!" articles or just fall back into their Apple worshipping mode. Someone said it best in an earlier post, they write what gets them page clicks.

Please, please don't tell me that's real.

Please, please don't tell me that's real.

LoL!

Sam Roberts talked to Rachel, who was waiting on line for an iPhone 5 on 5th Avenue in Manhattan for no apparent reason. This woman is not a plant, she is a real person, and she is brilliant.

[southlander]

Lol. The bikini girl is actually an iPhone user.

[LazyEvul]

LoL!
