Though the company RIM, the makers of BlackBerry aren’t doing very well on the stock exchange, their products including BBM, are widely used in the Middle East. I had a chuckle with this photo popped up last week at the start of Ramadan.

Ramadan is the holy month for Muslims when observers don’t eat or drink anything from sun-up to sundown.

All that to say, this is the source of this week’s photo. A twist on the popular Mockingjay.
