Cellphone Ring-tones.
They irritate me.
The cow says "MOO."
Cars go "beep."
Dogs go "WOOF."
The cat says "MEOW."
Phones should ring. Period.
If cars started ringing, or a poodle ran around tooting, that would bother me too.
I wouldn't like a Siamese Cat honking at me, so why should I want my phone sing to
me?
What's the point of it anyways?
It isn't like you can sit down and enjoy it.
Even if it's your favorite song, you have to answer it before you even get to the first
verse.
Who wants the first 2 bars of Stairway To Heaven coming from a tinny speaker near
your ass?
I think it's kind of a show off thing.
"HEY LOOK AT ME! MY PHONE DOES COOL THINGS!"
And if you like music on your phone why stop there? Why not make other Inanimate
objects sing to you?
When you sit down to take a dump, wouldn't it be nice if your toilet sang "My Eyes
Adored You?"
I was at corporate meeting recently, in the grand ballroom of a Hyatt Hotel.
You have to picture this:
It's very quiet.
Some boring woman in a suit is droning endlessly from the podium, while 500 sleepy
audience members struggle just to pretend they're listening.
Suddenly from the back of the room, where there's lot's of luggage, a cell phone goes
off REALLY LOUD!
'IT'S RAINING MEN! HALLELUJAH!!!
It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!"
The next thing I knew, some big fat (obviously gay) bald guy comes bounding down
the main aisle, running to the back of the room red-faced to answer his phone.
Everyone is looking at him.
Laughter erupts everywhere. He has his hand over his mouth, horrified.
I did enjoy that.
But I've also seen a cell phone go off during a wedding, at the critical "I DO," part of
the wedding, in a quiet church, some sort of hip-hop song, very annoying.
And who thinks ring tones are cool?
Apparently a lot of people do.
The latest thing the record industry has come up with is the THE RINGLE : a product
that combines the single format with ring tones.
Each ringle will contain three songs: one popular track, a remix, an older track from
the same artist and a ring tone.
Distribution method for the Ringle: a CD with a slip-sleeve cover.
Should I buy some Ringles?
I will, when my cat starts beeping.
