Aah, what us foolish sheep will do to get into a fucking social group that's somehow significant or special, in that it doesn't let just about anybody in.
We cry all the time against racism, and insist we're all just one. How hypocritical, when in actuality, we try so hard to find a group to join that's somehow exclusive.
Our cliques, our social groups in colleges and universities, even the fucking clubs you can or do join.
Blackberry Messaging Service is just one of those many services/social groups/clique/club.
This is the whole foundation, or philosophical concept, of the multi-million internet company - Facebook.
But not just. It's also what powers any 'social networking' website.
Our desire or irresistible need to 'break from tradition, flow against the current, not follow the norm.' Having some chance of standing out in a fucking room when you're with a group of people.
The Blackberry Messenger Service crowd. Once you're part of this group, some things that are automatically assumed or 'enabled' are:
- You are a "professional." Period.
- You have enough money to own a blackberry, and of course - have service.
- You don't own just any other phone. It's a blackberry. Also see: ipods.
- Only the cool people have the service. You're not missing out on the action if you have a bbpin. Because even if you know what Sally is bitching about Thomas on Facebook, she might be bitching about someone else on the Blackberry Messenger Service. You need to have this information, and now you can get it
Why did I get a Blackberry? I don't think I would see everything I just wrote about, as clearly - or in whatever way I see it now, if I didn't.
To know how sweet or sour the apple is, I wanted to take a bite out of it instead of listen to the Apple seller. Funny that I used an Apple for this analogy.

One question though : Why you used the word 'whore' for the social networking services?
Just a way to degrade them or is there a deeper meaning in there ?
