Am I alone here? Maybe I’m an asshole, maybe I’m not “with it”, maybe I have no taste…
But those ringtones, not just Crazy Frog, or such shite, but the “Not endorsed by any celebrity” ringtone, with retards doing bad Borat/ Austin Powers/ Little Britain etc. impressions… Surely they are the cream of the crap?
“Yakshemash! Please answer your phone!”
“Yeah baby, your phone is ringing!! Shall we answer now, or answer later?”
Is it possible to have such a ringtone on your mobile phone, and NOT be a total cretin? Whenever such an atrocity goes off, I’m superfly TNT… I could just grab the guys phone, crush it in my hand, then beat the living mucus out of the guy for being such a lame piece of shit.
If, that is, the owner of the offending phone did not look so embarresed every time his phone rings. Honestly; any time you hear a phone go off with an atrocious tone, the owner always goes crimson, as if mortally embarresed by his lameness.
Bit of advice buddy; you can delete that ringtone, or just choose another. I know you thought it was funny when you heard it on the telly, and I know you texted the number and chose to recieve it, unwittingly subscribing to a money-sucking text scam such as Jamster, and now you have it on your phone and its probably cost you fifty bucks trying to text “stop” to the 57*** number to cancel the subscription thats bleeding you dry, but seriously, is this the image you want to present to people… Sweety the Fucking Chick?
I’d love to say its just kids. But GROWN MEN AND WOMEN seem to be the largest culprits. Is this what its come to? Is this our great struggle? What ringtone we use on our phones? What ringtone defines us as a person? This is what we class as entertainment? The sound of a frog intercut with the themetune to an Eddie Murphy movie from twenty years ago? Seriously, this is a part of current pop culture that needs to be irradicated, now.
If you must customise your phone, at least try to be original. Use the phones recording abilities to record a unique sound, something that means a lot to you, or something that makes you smile each time you hear it. Something (and this is the important part) that does not make the people surrounding you want to BLUDGEON YOU TO DEATH. Then set this sound as your ringtone. Now, you can relax that you have your very own, one of a kind tone. So when someone else has the “What, you deaf? Pick up the phone? Uh, pick up the phone, yeah?” tone, you dont have to run out and feed more money into the Jamster machine to be “Cool” again.
IMHO.
When I’m out, my ringer is set pretty low, so I doubt anyone but my hears them; when I’m home, I crank it up. Brown Eyed Girl and Little Red Corvette make me dance, while Courtesy makes me laugh every single time.
