The Coming Of The BlackBerry Brigade

I never thought a Facebook invitation would change my life until this showed up on my home page. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the BlackBerry team is coming to UPenn.

Now, while I may have made some harmful comments about Blackberries in the past, I have not been this giddy since getting my acceptance letter to Penn. Why, you may ask? That would be the promise of a photo with the BlackBerry mascot, who, not shockingly, is a giant BlackBerry. It's not very often you get to pose with a life-size version of an object of scorn (unless, of course, you're like some people we know, for whom Beauty and the Beast was a source of major childhood trauma).

I can only hope that the man inside the phone isn't ticklish, because there are going to be a lot of people pushing those buttons.
