    I'm afraid I'm not getting the joke. The message on the BB isn't illustrating a text while driving - it's asking if texters are getting the message of "don't drive and text". I see nothing negative about the BB used in this ad. Indeed it illustrates a responsible attitude towards the topic.

    Why did you read this as "negative exposure"? As a consumer, I think it's quite positive in its message and use of BB.

    Just looking for attention. Lack of friends/family tends to do that to one.

    I think they are poking fun at people from Edmonton. Or personal grooming. Or the fact that many people have poor grammar and spelling when they text. Or that the person in the picture has such poor eyesight that they need an enormous font on their device so they probably should not be driving anyways.

    I dont think there was anything negative about the ops post. I think he was pointing out that they used a BB cause its instantly recognizable. I agree any publicity is good. Chill out all

    It's a picture of a BB becuase you can't easily drive & txt on an iPhone or Android.

    I bet most driving texters are BB users lol

    I think most driving texters are android users since they will use swype, which make them think that they can text faster so then have their eyes off the road less

    Well at least they are showing a more recent BB device.

    It frustrates me to no end when I see news articles still using images or old BB's from 2003 in comparison to the latest smartphones.

    Wow you guys are the ones with a lack of friends, you have horrible social skills. Why do people have to be so trollish on this website. Are your lives that bad that you must criticize others to make yourself feel better?

    Coming from someone with a porsche blackberry you should know that phone came out approx 2009. Its amazing how these companies always are sure to have the latest iphone or android when advertising though, without missing a beat.

    It's true. We all know it's easier to text and drive on a BB. That's one of the reasons why I love blackberry.
