This animated slap in Research In Motion’s face comes courtesy of Next Media Animation, the Taiwanese studio also responsible for that legendary Elin Nordegren versus Tiger Woods cartoon. The minute-long animation gives a very loose interpretation of RIM’s rise and fall. For instance, Steve Jobs is cast as a crack dealer and gangland assassin. And he takes out an anthropomorphized BlackBerry in a drive-by shooting. Despite the jerky animation and kooky soundtrack, we found ourselves feeling sorry for Canada’s poor, fallen smart phone.
