VIDEO: Steve Jobs as a drug-dealing murderer (in this news cartoon about RIM)

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.
