For the love of god........somebody please.......my ears are bleeding.

Who buys this crud? They should be banished from these shores. I agree with freedom of choice but once you've used that freedom to make such a horrendous choice you should be punished.

Frogged (no typo), tarred and feathered I say....then sent to..(insert your least favourtie place on Earth here)....to consider their actions and errors of their ways.

Only amusement is in the fact they've now blurred over his little frog wiener.

Right, where's me best of Wham CD??........"never gonna dance again......."

Im sure the original was called "Insanity Test". Not sure what a Google would throw up, but there you go.

Id heard it a good few years before it ever turned up with the F1 car. It used to be funny too.

Doesn't seem quite so funny now.

I'm ashamed to admit that the Axel F versus Crazy Frog video (and song) actually appeals to some warped part of my sense of humour...

There are three types of people who buy this ringtone:

-The sort of kids who put Mr. Blobby at number one.
-City traders convinced they have a sense of humour
-Chavs who have the level of humour appropriate to kids half their age, who like to find the most obnoxiously irritating material to cycle through on full volume in the cinema/train/Pizza Hut.

All their phones should be subject to a blast from GoldenEye.

Crazy Frog is another weapon in the war by the media against speed and those who enjoy driving at speed.

1.The original "ringadingading..." soundfile we heard juxtaposed with the image of an F1 car was clearly an attempt to ridicule enthusiasts of F1 and by implication F1 itself.

2. The subsequent creation of Crazy Frog. The adjective "Crazy" is obviously perjorative in that it implies that anyone who enjoys speed is "crazy" - in other words mad or at least lacking sound judgment. The frog character itself is rendered with a small block or fudged area where his genitals should appear. Clearly, this is a reference to the
oft-repeated assertion by those with anti-car views that cars are a "penis-extension". Thus we infer that individuals who like cars, especially high performance cars, harbour feelings of sexual inadequacy.

3. The saturation of the media with of the Crazy Frog ringtone collateral is designed to irritate. The ringtone irritates. The ring tone represents the Crazy Frog. The Crazy Frog enjoys riding his invisble bike at speed. So by reduction we learn that speed = irritation.
