Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | I just saw a 30 second commercial, and the only thing it was selling was a hamster dance ringtone for your cellphone. Is it just me or are they jumping on the bandwagon a tad late? ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11192 | Man, how I hate ringtone TV spots! This 'industry' is currently in full swing here. It's not possible to watch a movie on TV without having text like "get this movie's music on your phone now" scrolling through the picture all the time ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | Ugh... This is the first ringtone ad I've ever seen, hopefully it doesn't get that bad. Of course I hardly watch TV and our movie channels are commercial free but it does sound like a fad the kids would pick up on fast. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | I still have my default Nokia tune on my phone. Somehow, I don't seem to understand the reason for all those ring tones. ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Mine's always set to "Silent". We have those commercials too, among the most irritating are the "biker frog" and "sleepy the cute little chick". Edit: Link. Imagine this popping up during every single commercial break. Edited by The Mole at 21:21 on January, 29th 2005 ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | If I had a cell phone, the ring would just be a series of rip roaring farts. That way if it rang during class or something else important, it would just seem like I have terrible gas. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11192 | Fair enough. It just reminded me of the situation I come across daily on a train: the standard Nokia tune can be heard, and at least ten people immediately start fumbling in their pockets, checking whether it's their phone ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | I saw that quite often in the busses in Slovakia. It's much more fun when the bus is so full that it takes a while to pick up the phone, giving everybody enough time to dig up their own phones. I can't wait till somebody finds a way to make all phones in a certain location ring at once ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Just experienced the same situation at university today. Right in the middle of a lecture, a phone was ringing really loud and the professor quickly jumped to his suitcase because his thought it was his phone. |
