How do you know that the headline isn't accurate as it was written/intended? Maybe there is an impending oral-anal sex worker strike we are unaware of.

[–]Lt_Shniz 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, they're burning dental dams.

[–]aethelberga 2 points3 points ago

Whenever pics like this turn up, I am of the firm belief that the copywriter knew what they were doing. The probably live or moments like this.

[–]Intelligonce 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. They're probably just being BOLD.

[–]FactBlaster 0 points1 point ago

you're distracting from the fact that THEY TOOK OUR JARBSSS!

[–]Crackerjacksurgeon 11 points12 points ago

Headline writers NEED their bad puns. It's the only thing they have!

[–]ololiaogm 2 points3 points ago

As a former newspaper editor, this.

[–]TheFAJ 18 points19 points ago

Is this the one we are upvoting?

The 'New' tab is filled to the brim with this headline.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

If we have too.

[–]feureau 0 points1 point ago

Then let's at least have a decent blackberry thread now wouldn't we?

Right.

As a blackberry user, I long to see the day RIM finally bites the dust. I can't switch to another handset because everyone is using the fucking outdated blackberry messenger. The user experience is bloody painful in this day and age, mate.

Condolences for the 6000 people, but still. They'd have an opportunity to look for jobs in less shittier company.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

What?

[–]feureau 1 point2 points ago

Blackberry sucks. I can't switch to other device because everyone I work with is on the proprietary blackberry messenger. Please die.

[–]SuperLink243 1 point2 points ago

Sadly I live in the city were RIM is based and if goes out of business a rather large amount of the city's work force will be unemployed.

[–]feureau -2 points-1 points ago

Having first hand experience in having to put up with blackberry bullshit for a few years, having this knowledge would be like icing on the cake. Shitty workers lose job? I ain't even mad.

[–]zacman5001 1 point2 points ago

Shitty? Really? Most of RIM's workers are from the University of Waterloo, rated 34th in the world for CS degrees. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the demise of RIM too, just a bit unfair to call their employes shitty.

[–]feureau 0 points1 point ago

Produces shitty hardware and software that sent the company bankrupt and clamoring onto other companies to buy software from.(qnix)

Sure. Blame the management for shitty hardware and software.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

let me rephrase that: Why should I care?

That would be the epitome of a first world problem.

[–]feureau 0 points1 point ago

Because fuck you, that's why

[–]flahertp 2 points3 points ago

Yeah that woman is covering up a lot of the text on that blackberry ad. They should have designed the text to go around her instead.

[–]pixelrage 4 points5 points ago

It was probably intentional, but the writer's boss was from a generation that doesn't get the joke, and it went through.

[–]holger-danske 1 point2 points ago

they could have... but it wouldn't have been funny

[–]ShivAGit 1 point2 points ago

My roommate got his work placement confirmed there a few months ago. Needless to say we've tormented him about getting a rim job endlessly, but he's the one on £26,000 for the year, compared to our ~£14,000 :(

[–]vemrion 1 point2 points ago

What's a rim-job?

</Broflovski>

[–]feureau 0 points1 point ago

Weeeeeelll, have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom?

[–]Panther-State 1 point2 points ago

They couldn't have worded it better imo

[–]Fukui_San 1 point2 points ago

When I was your age, I gave 6,000 RIM jobs a week, up-hill both ways in the dead marshes just to put food on the table!

[–]Indestructavincible 1 point2 points ago

As someone who lives in Waterloo, this joke is a daily verbal repost.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Indestructavincible 0 points1 point ago

There are.... newspapers?

Just kidding. But I haven't picked up a Record for about 15 years.

Not living in Ontario for the last 14 of those might contribute to this fact.

[–]Ride_My_Walmart_Pony 1 point2 points ago

Good lord. This is a repost of a repost from a repost, all in the same day. Have we finally hit the creative ceiling on Reddit?

[–]DirtyKlam22 1 point2 points ago

[–]Quite-Tsilly 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if repost or if this was a far more recent paper than I remember.

[–]Humble_Bumble 4 points5 points ago

6000 Rim jobs on the line? This is our call to duty gentlemen. This is our moment. We must save the the rim jobs.

[–]Vahnya 2 points3 points ago

Way to steal from George Takei.

[–]Android4[S] 0 points1 point ago

look at the time of his post, then look at mine. I actually got it from a friend who actually took the picture. so my karma and george Takei should be thankful to my friend.

[–]tet3 -1 points0 points ago

What paper is this? All the credits are to Reuters. There's no masthead or paper name in the photo, and none of the postings I've seen name the paper. I'm starting to smell a 'shop.

[–]Indestructavincible 0 points1 point ago

Run it through a difference engine and see.

[–]aequitas3 0 points1 point ago

Unemployment is rampant! Give all the unemployed rimjobs and they will be happy!

[–]kevinc69 0 points1 point ago

No they couldn't.

[–]Ingmundar 0 points1 point ago

Sweet Jesus! We need to do something about this, there is no way that we can let 6000 perfectly good rim jobs go to waste!

[–]damngurl 0 points1 point ago

My friend works at RIM. It never gets old

[–]dragoneye 0 points1 point ago

I don't even think it gets old for the people working there.

[–]voidconsumer 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't, I work there also. This joke is a daily thing.

[–]imhereforanonymity 0 points1 point ago

When I first started my undergrad in engineering, rim jobs were some of the most coveted positions.

[–]cdcformatc 0 points1 point ago

People have been making this joke since Research in Motion started.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's fine. They can get new jobs as salad tossers.

[–]Guy-Manuel 0 points1 point ago

Because it's definitely not pronounced "are eye em."

[–]Lan777 0 points1 point ago

Thats just enough to take a layer off my taint

[–]mflbusrsix7 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like an average day at 9gag

[–]bburgmtnbiker 0 points1 point ago

Gosh she's gonna be busy....

[–]vinsite 0 points1 point ago

The internet is killing the porn industry

[–]Norrbotten 0 points1 point ago

[–]krakenknuckles 0 points1 point ago

God, I know! Here I am, ambling along the internet of life, looking for some quality oral-anal pornography and I keep ending up with links to blackberry news articles. Lame. Seriously. This happened to me.

[–]noahjames 0 points1 point ago

Differently, yes. But not better.

[–]zstone 0 points1 point ago

Here is the first joke I ever came up with:

What does yo momma have in common with a Les Schwab?

Getting paid for rim jobs...

[–]Girolmao 0 points1 point ago

I applied for an internship at RIM as part of my co-op program in University... I guess I won't get it.

[–]rackgen 0 points1 point ago

What, 51 comments and no IANAL mention so far? That's sad!

[–]giggity_giggity 0 points1 point ago

That poor girl in the photo. I am sure she'll be the butt of many jokes.

[–]Rountree85 0 points1 point ago

That's a pretty bold title.

[–]TeamOneUp 0 points1 point ago

Do I have to get them all at once, or can I spread them out over a period of time?

[–]weightedstoragecube 0 points1 point ago

Realizes it is actually THE ONION

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

And I just got a blackberry

[–]ResidentWeeaboo 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure they knew exactly what they were doing. I remember all the witty Wiener headlines. No way that was an accident!

[–]mysticdickstick 0 points1 point ago

be bold!

[–]kekekekekekekeke 0 points1 point ago

well their logo IS "be bold"...

[–]StevenHarper 0 points1 point ago

Some editor is getting a "lickin " over that that mistake

[–]antag4123 0 points1 point ago

Whats a rim job?

[–]voidconsumer 0 points1 point ago

Something 6000 people might not have soon? ba-dum-tish

[–]dethvenger -1 points0 points ago

If I was the editor, I would have worded it as "6,000 in line for RIM jobs." But that's just me.

[–]FaultyWires 1 point2 points ago

It means they're getting fired, so no, not what you said.

[–]dethvenger 0 points1 point ago

I didn't say I would word it to coincide with the article's actual meaning... :|

[–]Mock_the_Mockingbird -1 points0 points ago

We get it! Rim jobs! stfu, people.

[–]zoeypayne -1 points0 points ago

Stealing George Takei's karma, bad bad redditor.

[–]DangerousIdeas -1 points0 points ago

He IS George Takei!

[–]Salacha -4 points-3 points ago

A classmate in college did an internship there. We tormented her about rim jobs constantly. She said all the other people hwo worked there were tormented by their friends as well.

[–]Thewhitebread -5 points-4 points ago

Now this country is losing rim jobs? Thanks Obama.

[–]Android4[S] 8 points9 points ago

RIM is a Canadian company. So I guess, Thanks Harper.

[–]choperty -1 points0 points ago

this is my newspaper...
