Crazy Frog

I have always had a deep hate for the Crazy Frog, and his buddies such as those two fluffy birds and a tiny dragon. Ringtones are the peicings of the 20th centurey, but these tones are just annoying.

So after checking Jamsters web site and looking for a place to complain, I came across a web site about the con that Jamster is pulling.

You see, people don't read the small print, and if they did, they'd know the big bold writing saying 'Get this tone for 50p now!' was a lie; because Jamster isn't a one off service, it's monthly, and can cost up to £8 weekly depending on which tones you've downloaded, not including £1.25 for evrey text message they send to you, which are frequent and pointless.

But of course they don't read the small print; it's a size 6 font on a light blue background. hmm.gif

Frequencey

I'm sure anyone who lives in the UK has noticed the alarming frequencey of advertisments from Jamster for it's ringtones such as Crazy Frog, those two birds and Nessie. During prime time televison in the UK, it appears twice evrey commercial break on all three commercial terrestrial channels, and continues to appear at least once, but often twice, per advertisment break for the rest of the day.

That means these advertisments are repeated over and over again in a VERY short space of time. It's like Brain washing.

And these are only the 'Crazy Frog' ringtones. Just the other day an ITV commercial break bought up two 'Crazy Frogs', two 'nessies', and then one of those two birds on a line.

This has got to stop. It is absurd. I should not have to hear stupid noises for foolish products evrey time the show I'm watching stops for a break.

It seems like the BBC is the only safe haven, and Doctor who is the only high-ratings show that isn't boasting a frog in the advertisments'.

Further more...

The ASA will no longer accept complaints over the frequencey of the advertisments. angry.gif i don't even have a place to complain!

Now, we have to propositions...

We can choose to be adult about things and ignore it.

Or we can do........

Damn right there, i've been ripped off by these merchants before: unsilicited message pops up: 'get yr free ringtone here!' So like a fool you reply, then you find you get another crap ringtone that sounds nothing like the song it's supposed to be every day for the rest of eternity, costing at least £1 a time, and there's no number you can send a message saying 'stop' to.

all i can say is: alien.gif devil.gif to them and their ringtones of satan

I was horrified to learn that my sister was listening to one of these ring tones on her iPod! ohmy.gif

Absoloubtly!

But what kind of world do we live in, where ring tones can top charts?! angry.gif

It's the logical conclusion when all you need to make music is a computer ... you couldn't make a bloody ringtone with a guitar , could you?!
Walken
Watch your language laddy- I figure the mods would have had their eyes on this one to begin with.

Let us be peaceful protesters.
The Roswell Man
yeh sorry i think nsaramun was having a close look..
but bull**** gets me worked up sumtimes.... angry.gif

Exactly, and this Crazy Frog is a prime example of that.

*slap*

BBC, Why would a Channel that has no adverts and never had adverts show an advert thats inherently annoying akin to that of dying a slow death via ticking (without the laughing).

ohmy.gif hmm.gif blink.gif

That's why we love the BBC as a national treasure, the greatest broadcaster in the wrold, the station that brings us Doctor Who, and does not have ads for ringtones or realitty TV shows!!
Walken
Yes. It does Bring us Doctor Who. Oh yes.... yes.gif
dunderhead
Yeh, that frog sucks..! And to make matters worse it was flashing it's bits at us..? blink.gif
Walken
Yes it was. On the new advertisments they've been blacked out.
MichaelS
I dislike all the fancy ringtones that have come out anyways- even if they aren't an idiotic frog with aviator googles strapped to it's Elephantitis poxed head.

Whatever happend to simple rings for a phone?
star_child
lol, very true! laugh.gif

I find thw whole thing very offensive to frogs. Frogs are beautiful creatures and should not be used to sell bleeping crap.

Also, they are stealing The Wind in the Willows! The frog in that wore goggles when he got road rage. Its time to sue!
The Roswell Man
actually iam starting find normal ringing tones almost nolstagic
its the fashion nowadays to have a hip, latest tone
plus loads of companies are rushing to make money off it disgust.gif
and making us pay thru our nose for it. hmm.gif disgust.gif sad.gif

I've always had a hatred of fads. They are nothing but a sleasy way for a company to make money in a short span of time. They rely on human gullibility and stupidity to finance their expensives lives. disgust.gif

Here you go...this is Crazy Frog(but this one is sped up alot...the ad on TV and the ringtone are alot slower)

I don't mind them...they don't annoy me as much as certain other things do.

i'm an american who currently lives in england and bless you walken for hanging that darn frog!!!!!!!!
it comforts me greatly to know that some of the ppl from the u.s. are confused about what this is because it means that it isn't over there...yet. when i move back there and the crazy frog reaches the u.s. i guess i'll have no choice but to move countries again.......
Mr Ed
That frog...The creator of it probably didn't realise what he has unleashed on the world. He was probably thinking 'oh, ill make a nice little cartoon for people's phones...'. But now someone has added genitals and it is on the tv about every 20 minutes- he has created a monster.
coldethyl
i just want to be in a room alone with him and a corkscrew for about 20 minutes.....
PadawanOsswe
No, they show the adds in the U.S. too, they showed them a lot a few months ago, now they hardly show it anymore.... thankfully grin2.gif

I thought the U.K was a state of the U.S.A...? huh.gif Well there you go..?
Walken
You've got it the other way around, Dunderhead. We bought culture to the US, not the other way around.
star_child
Yeah, but all our trends and stuff come from America. I mean, right now I am wearing pink Converses, and Levi jeans. In fact, I have a ton of Levi jeans in my closet, and not enough room for my Converses.
Mr Ed
Cough...the beatles...culture...american civilisation...cough
