Make it Stop

I'm begging you, make it stop. Those fecking adverts for that frog ringtone nonsense are driving me crazy. You expect to get that sort of crap on the Sky channels but for ITV to give up nearly their entire array of advertising timeslots is beyond the limit that any consumer should have to endure.

It must be costing the company an absolute fortune. We're not talking the cheap, after midnight advertising slots here, oh no 2 or 3 adverts during the peak revenue stream of before, during and after Corrie. It's not that I'm even watching the telly but you can hear it, instantly going through your brain like a knife...tinkle, jingle, vrrroooom, tinkle, jingle arghhh, it's driving me crazy. Who the feck buys this crap?

What does your ringtone say about you?

People who opt for the old fashioned ring tone think they are ever so
high-brow but may end up coming across as pretentious.

Oh yeah? Bite me.

Update: It's getting worse, I'm losing my fecking mind and I'm not alone. The only course of action is to stop watching ITV and complain, complain, complain. Oh my Gawd, I'm turning into a moaning, old git... I'm so proud, my life's ambition, happy at last, feck off the lot of you.

Send your complaints to dutyoffice@itv.com I've just informed them that until the f*cking frog goes I'll not be watching any ITV channels.

  • They are annoying as fuck. Guess whats trying to be number 1 this weekend in the singles chart? Yep - that cunt of a frog. If it's not that it's a dragon or a little chick. Who buy's them? They should be shot...I'm guessing kids and women - thankfully I don't know anyone that has one. Makes me high-brow or a loner. Either way I don't have to hear them apart from on TV and thats what the remote controls for.

  • Also don't know anyone who has them or even heard one of them go off in the real world apart from in my head, constantly....tring, tring, tring, vrooom vrooom arghhh! How much do they cost? I've never downloaded anything to my phone that costs money, ever! They must be raking it in if they can afford blanket network TV coverage. Come the revolution, up against the wall.
