I won't be going to Spain or any other British-ridden country. I'm not even going to tell you in case the country is infested. Offence intended of course!

You can't turn on a goddamn TV in the UK without being assaulted by this godawful piece of crap. Not only is it INCREDIBLY annoying, it's on every channel, at least once during EVERY ad break.

If anyone I knew bought this I'd disown them. The people who buy this should be rounded up and shot, for the good of the gene pool. Seriously, you have to be REALLY stupid to pay £3 for a ringtone,when you can get any ringtone off the internet for FREE, but it's even worse to go out and buy a single of this thing.

It's my dream that some day soon a mob will set Jamster's offices on fire, with the guy who invented this thing inside.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/

You really would think living in Britain people would have more sense...but no!.

FYI - its the all the 8-12 year olds that actually control the charts these days anyway - theres no point to it at all.

Oh yes, Big Brother. Sorry, you're right.

So fucking annoying]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/
Channel 5 I can tolerate because a) they show CSI/L&O etc and b) there's no pretense as to any degree of sophistication. They do what they do, and IMHO, it's fine.

ITV I'm never disappointed in because they've always shown mass-audience junk and I almost never watch it at all.

Channel 4, however, is such a let-down as of the past few years. They should really know better, but all we get now is awful reality TV.

I certainly agree that we could increase the nation IQ though, especially if all the reality stuff was taken off the air...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/
haha i was gonna put "channel 4 (big brother)" in my initial post, as my reason for getting rid of channel 4

thank god for BBC! its worth every penny of licence fee! it surprises me how much they do with just £121 per house hold!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/

arrrgh it's so annoying, but what's worse is the banner ad, it crashes firefox as well as being the most annoying creation in the history of mankind.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/
And 27: get AdBlock: free plugin which simply blocks URLs (with wildcards) when you choose to. I have never ever encountered a Jamster/Jamba (NL version) ad since.

btw - i'm sure weblogs inc don't get much choice in placement of advertisements, but earlier this week I started logging on to TUAW only to find this fucking ad playing (from somewhere on the screen). I just closed the window... I've done a little work in advertising and was once instructed (by a publication) to tone down an ad's graphical content as it was too loud for the page it was on... Editorial always gets one over advertising - why can't you tell these bastards where to go??

Oh, for Christs' sake - just noticed - the two Google Text ads below this are for "3 FREE Polyphonic Tones" and "Crazy Fron Ringtone" - Lets find where Jamster live and petrol-bomb the fuckers.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/30/crazy-frog-ringtone-tops-british-charts-beats-out-actual-music/

Britain used to give the world good music. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Oasis (before they went a bit shit) to name but a few and the guys over the Irish Sea came up with U2. Now all we get is manufactured boy bands and techno crap that insults our ear drums every ad break.

the teletubbies and mr blobby got to number one in their day and look where they are now!

the tune only made it to number one because of the beverly hill cop music anyway - which in my opinion is one of the best theme tunes for a movie ever just after rockys eye of the tiger and the terminator theme.

and as for britain only producing techno crap recently look at the urban music scene in the UK. i dont follow it much but look at Estelle.
