As this Blackberry ad series illustrates, you probably didn't know that Adam and Eve were once almost tempted into the cult of Apple.
Blackberry's posters feature different classical paintings of the two biblical figures, where the "apple" has been swapped out with a Blackberry, which is apparently far sweeter to the pair. Now, the only question remains is who was the first to sin? As well as being a humorous way to poke fun at one of its biggest competitors, the ads are a clever way to subtly suggest that the phone is a key component in the utopia that is the idyllic Garden of Eden.
The funny ads for Blackberry were developed by Carina Lucero of the Miami Ad School in the United States.
