Do you or someone you know have a secret addiction? Have you been caught in the act? Are you a slave to your Blackberry, does it cause arguments with your significant other? Are you a crackberry addict? Montclair film producer Steve McCarthy is putting out a casting call for some "crackberry victims" to tell all on a national TV show:
Jon Alter and I are doing a fun little spot about Blackberry usage and we're looking for a family who's suffering from this new addiction. Ideally, it would be great to have the MOM being the one addicted.
If you're guilty, contact Steve at stephenemccarthy@aim.com, and in the meantime, don't worry, you can get help.
I sit in wonder looking at all the kids dressed up in their parents clothing pecking away at the little plastic boxes as we sway and bob on our way into Lower Manhattan on the NJWaterway.
What can be so fascinating? What is the allure? Why would someone want to sit all hunched over completely mesmerized by a little tiny screen? Why do people 'mock' the helpless and disenfranchised?
These are questions for which I do not care to know the answer. The infernal sucking sound of a human soul being drawn into these devices is enough horror for me.
