John McCain’s top economic adviser recently suggested that McCain helped create the BlackBerry. Here are 6 reasons why John McCain could not have invented the BlackBerry.
6. BlackBerries come from Canada.
RIM, the company that came up with BlackBerry is based in Ontario. And John McCain totally isn’t Canadian. He’s from Panama. But, luckily for McCain, Sarah Palin can probably see Canada from certain porches in Alaska.
5. He wouldn’t have named it that.
Unsubstantiated rumors suggest that when McCain first saw the BlackBerry, he tried to name it “the Magic Talking Thingy” before advisers half-explained to him how it worked. Plus, he thinks that people who say that whole “blacker the berry, sweeter the juice” saying are “uppity”.
4. He wouldn’t have invented something that requires you to bring your arms up to your head.
Just saying.
3. He doesn’t know how to use email, the Internet or a keyboard.
And that’s kind of the point with BlackBerries.
2. He prefers communicating via hologram.
This photo of McCain using hologram technology comes from a documentary shot in 1980.
1. Al Gore already invented it.
