I find this irony because RIM is the one who should wakeup first

The world was a bit hasty in jumping to the conclusion that Samsung was behind a recent spontaneous protest that broke out outside of an Apple Store in Sydney, Australia. We were right in assuming that things seemed a bit too polished for the “Wake Up” campaign to be any sort of grassroots movement, what with the professionally printed signs, coordinated outfits, and decked out bus (not to mention an accompanying website). We just had the responsible party wrong.
BlackBerry maker RIM has admitted that they were behind the charade as part of a buildup to a May 7th reveal that “will aim to provoke conversation on what ‘being in business’ means to Australians.” It just won’t be provoking any conversation about Samsung or their upcoming Galaxy S III. But hey, being mistaken for Samsung is a step in the right direction for RIM, right?

I don't understand what they were trying to achieve anyway.

Some actual press.

I guess RIM waited for the whole thing to blow over onto Samsung before taking responsibility for it.

They were advertising the functionality of using a Blackberry as an alarm clock.

No wonder RIM is fast losing market share.

Laughing at Boz.

I felt sorry for Samsung because I thought it's their campaign too lol (probably because of those video ads mocking Apple fans lining up for the iPhone some time earlier)

But yeah not too happy with this sort of campaign, found it silly and making people dislike them even more? I dunno

This has achieved nothing for them. They are not advertising enough, I've seen black wake up ads maybe twice in the last few days. Will they finally go away after BB10 fails?
