Can someone please explain BlackBerry's "Moby Dick" commercial to me?

No, that would actually be a bad thing.
Ad fail.
The problem with being too clever in advertising is sometimes you will actually forget what the point was in the first place.

Ahh so Blackberry's are a venereal disease???
That's funny, Rudeguy. I watched the ad and thought that it was neat that they tied all of the features together in one common theme while moving through them quickly and seamlessly. I thought it was pretty well done - but you are right, he never does actually find a link to the book which pretty odd when you think about it... which I hadn't.
Wouldn't stealth social commentary on our ADD information-overload culture being delivered by a commercial, let alone a BB commercial, be the reference definition of irony?

The point of the commercial was that you can interact fluidly with others in many ways given a starting point like "Moby Dick" using the Blackberry Torch.
The commercial isn't geared to people who simply want a simple and fast search -> answer. It would be a boring commercial if it were... not that the Moby Dick commercial was that good.
