Press Release
NEW "IT" GIRL ON THE SCENE CAITLIN MOE A.K.A C-MOE RELEASES HER VIRAL COMEDIC VIDEO "CRACKBERRY LOVE" WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE GATOR GIRLS
The Talented Pop Singer/Violinist Introduces Alter Ego C-Moe and The Gator Girls On
"Crackberry Love"
No one is safe from that controlling, evil little mobile device that consumes your entire being. It's constantly the focus of your attention while at work, at dinner with friends, even while on a date. Well one day pop singer/violinist, Caitlin Moe, becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of civility and manners of her friends decided it was time to do something about it. Thus alter ego C-Moe and "Crackberry Love" was born.
An instant internet hit, the concept of "Crackberry Love" originated during a late night writing session with Caitlin's producer Heather Holley and two best friends Morgan Johnson & Stevie Uribe. What started out as a parody on "Crackberry" addicts, ended up as a music video just a few weeks later.
Directed by Evan Ferrante, widely popular for his satirical funny videos, "Crackberry Love" pokes fun at America's obsessions with our mobile devices. In the beginning of the video, a cryptic voice warns of the many health dangers of the "Crackberry" addiction and then goes on to flash Hollywood bad girls Paris Hilton, Hillary Duff and Pamela Anderson who are caught red-handed with their "Crackberrys" in hand. With a fabulous cameo appearance by Heatherette designer Richie Rich, C-Moe and The Gator Girls are spotted with a life-sized device as their constant companion. At one point in the video, C-Moe goes to kiss her date and he turns into a "Crackberry"! Realizing this "Crackberry" addiction is getting out of control, C-Moe is caught by the paparazzi as she tries to dash into a "Crackberry" re-hab clinic unnoticed and immediately finds herself on the cover of Us Weekly. Check out www.myspace.com/crackberrylove to discover how the drama unfolds.....
Quickly becoming a widespread internet phenomenon, "Crackberry Love" will be available on iTunes November 1st, along with the EP of four songs from Caitlin Moe's highly anticipated debut album.

are you tone def??? that was some bullshit. who was the engineer that recorded that. they should lock his ass up first.
lamonicaj Nov 14, 2008 at 10:50 pm
That was freaking GARBAGE!!!!
Nov 14, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I tried twice to make it all the way through, just to see if they got nekkid. Both times I quickly decided that even if they did, the payoff wouldn't be worth the pain to my ears.
cigardj Nov 14, 2008 at 2:18 am
Very nice!
The best BB Anthem so far in my book.
Nice touch with converting the man into a BB and going straight for the track ball. Imagine what shorty would do with a touch screen Storm.
Almost forgot; this is a family show.

MuDvAyNe Nov 14, 2008 at 2:14 am

Tumaz04 Nov 14, 2008 at 2:25 am
Umm wow.
MalPraktiz Nov 14, 2008 at 3:22 am
ouch, my ears have yet to stop bleeding
gibsonhtp Nov 14, 2008 at 3:30 am

secretsexyninja Nov 14, 2008 at 4:18 am
OMG that is SOOO AWFUL... SOOOOOOOO horrible!! LOLOL. i almost died laughing. what a joke. the video isnt bad but the actual song is... the words escape me. hahaha how embarassing
bighap Nov 14, 2008 at 4:53 am
Listened to the first minute in agony, but I thought it might get better so I listened to the rest. Wrong. Wasted 4:37 of my life away.
b1gg134 Nov 14, 2008 at 6:47 am
Glad to see it wasn't just me that thought it was terrible.
Tommytong Nov 14, 2008 at 7:13 am
i've sinned just watching that.
WarER4X Nov 14, 2008 at 7:16 am
... but that's half the fun. I thought it was hilarious! It was sort of the same kind of funny as watching The Office. I sometimes feel embarrassed for the characters involved, but that's part of what makes it funny. Awesome!
-SR-
superblackeagle Nov 14, 2008 at 7:35 am
lol that was kinda funny. i want a blackberry costume!!
cvaria Nov 14, 2008 at 7:52 am
i thought it was a storm winner... then i realized that that video cost way more than a storm.
it was funny*. no hate here.
*funny meaning mental laughs and/or amusement, not to be confused with "ha ha" funny.
BabiCakes Nov 14, 2008 at 7:51 am
..is okay...the rest of the song...O M G!! Sad thing is, this is one of thoes awful songs that get trapped in your head.
TyD Nov 14, 2008 at 8:25 am
It was pretty bad... the only thing that kept me watching was all the hot chicks...
VoltaicShock Nov 14, 2008 at 8:56 am
Does anyone have a non youtube link?
YouTube is great and all but a lot of jobs block it.
tek.1231 Nov 14, 2008 at 9:07 am
Are you kidding me?
dhm282#cb Nov 14, 2008 at 9:19 am
Lame
Not exactly Nov 14, 2008 at 9:24 am
I think its cool that there is a crackberry song.
However, that song was horrible.
The sad part is the few minutes that she actually sang sound sounded decent.
I could do without the ghetto clothing as well.
The video could have been of her in the studio and that would have been ok.
Maybe I am getting old! - lol
BDiamondD Nov 14, 2008 at 9:40 am
Do you think RIM had any part in this?
tnewton3 Nov 14, 2008 at 11:09 am
Absolutely not, I can almost gaurantee that RIM had no part in this video. 1. It was horrible 2. The girls weren't anything special. Pretty lame if you ask me.
scottlucky13 Nov 14, 2008 at 10:05 am
????????? This was some Mickey Mouse BS!! Or should i say Nickelodeon.
eager2own Nov 14, 2008 at 10:05 am
Where do I get the giant BB suit?
skyefalcon Nov 14, 2008 at 10:18 am
The video was funny because it appears to have been done as a spoof.
What was intended to be serious and came off *seriously* lame was that press release. That was the joke.
Just my dos centavos.
Chief51 Nov 14, 2008 at 10:42 am
That was probably the most horrific thing I have ever seen
baldrod Nov 14, 2008 at 11:17 am
I don't think the video was made for a serious attempt to launch her career as so much just to have so fun. I don't think it would get her a music award but I bet it made all of you smile at least once. I thought it was hilarious and had a good beat. I have heard and seen alot worse. I'm just saying lighten up and have some fun with it. I looked her up on Rhapsody and she has another song out "Siren Song" it's not bad and the picture they have posted OMG she's a hottie. Don't forget to take time and smile. I mean how many of you have almost walked into something while you were texting.
MJ4CB Nov 14, 2008 at 6:08 pm
About the smiles that is. In fact, I got the most laughter reading all these comments! Y'all are a hoot! I must say, ingenius young lady...
JD1 Nov 14, 2008 at 11:39 am
OK...check out my band and the song I wrote. Blackberry Blues!

Much better than teeny pop.....just sayin....
Msgadget Nov 14, 2008 at 11:50 am
Just wish it wasn't so long...
The Outlaw Nov 14, 2008 at 11:48 am
It's better to watch this video when the sound is off.
mark s Nov 14, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Haha - that is the best comment so far !!!!
sarfrazfamily Nov 14, 2008 at 12:23 pm
that was NOT a good song. I will be waiting for a BB anthem still because this was NOT it.
mgm747 Nov 14, 2008 at 12:46 pm
That was a great song!!! explains us junkies like it is!!
lmfao
TecknoJunky Nov 14, 2008 at 12:47 pm
A ture CBA would of spotted over 69 BB in the video. As for the number of hot girls, I have no idea I was to distracted by all those BB.
secretsexyninja Nov 14, 2008 at 2:16 pm
:) yeah i definitely laughed like 'omg wtf / embarassing' hahaha. i DID get that office uncomfortable vibe from it ;) but thats half the fun... being so bad its almost unbearable
dskid807 Nov 14, 2008 at 2:25 pm
This is just one of those no goers. It is not good at all.
woodman500 Nov 14, 2008 at 2:52 pm
You people in New York need help.
LocoStrange Nov 14, 2008 at 2:50 pm
That was very entertaining to watch. Very nicely done, lol
aparada Nov 14, 2008 at 4:49 pm
should hit me on ma blackburry!
Noobish Nov 14, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Like the Pudding Wrestling, this proves that hot chicks can get away with anything - even bad singing. Despite how awful that song was, I couldn't stop watching.
stewdaddy Nov 14, 2008 at 6:30 pm
That was painful. I only watched it because of my dedication to Crackberry. Please tell me that whole thing about her album coming out is a joke. Please?????
NamelessLiar Nov 14, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Make the lamb stop screaming!!!
Nickel Buddy Nov 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Wow, such a harsh crowd. I thought it was funny!
Guy from SU Nov 14, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Wow that seriously hurt my ears.
Made_in_RIM Nov 14, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Please shoot my head
serpico Nov 14, 2008 at 8:57 pm
OMG are you serious? If this is the new anthem, I'm switching to iphone. I didn't know youngin's liked blackberry's anymore now that the iphone is out.
SOADFreak1989 Nov 14, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Trying to be Britney Spears + Bad rapping + Blackberry = A girl making some noise with some lyrics about Blackberries.
RIM does not support this message!
Sorry, I bid you good day madam!
For a good Blackberry rap please search for "Hit Me On My Blackberry" on Youtube.
CeoStatus0 Nov 14, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I know it was made out of fun... Good job and effort, but it's a one-timer for me, I couldn't watch or listen to it again.
safemodef8 Nov 15, 2008 at 7:04 am
the song is terrible
bx2md Nov 15, 2008 at 11:13 am
I thought it was very funny ..... even the part (my thumbs are gettn numb)
what should happen since there are so many ppl sayn it was this and that then there should a contest of some sort for the best "crackberry" song/video
tekneakz Nov 15, 2008 at 4:12 pm
i could only last 52 seconds. i think "talented" is a bit of a stretch.
squash Nov 17, 2008 at 1:21 am
Why did this director waste his time on this ridiculous song and group of junior high girls?! My ears....they'll never be the same.
gfisher99 Nov 17, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Much better on mute, however, the girl probably isnt even legal, so...
Anonymous2345 Feb 27, 2009 at 12:05 am
I know the star of this video personally. It cost over $50,000 to produce. I'll let you decide if it was money well-spent.......
