Campaign to stop the stupid BA5TARD Crazy Frog ad!

dahamsta

This ad has to be taken off the air. I''m not going to start a petition or set up a pretty wee form for you to fill in, just please PLEASE email the address below telling them to get it off the air before the entire country goes insane from having to listen to this mindless idiocy.

press@paramountcomedy.com

It appears on other channels too, feel free to add their addresses.

Thank god someone is doing something about this. Its such an awfu awful ad. I really hope I don't hear someone with that on their phone. They'd deserve a good punch!

Poz3D

As bad as that ad is, we have to try and stop the 'Find' text service ad on some of the Irish channels. You know the one that goes something like this :

Find love, find a partner, find Keano, Keeeannoooo

That really gets to me

David19

I think an end to all ring tone ads is in order. Its especially annoying when there's two or three in one ad break.

steveland?

I;d send an email but I really couldn't be bothered.

This ad is DAMN annoying though

gandalf

What kind of inbred twit actually avails of this "service" !!!! Polyphonic tones are nothing more than midi files. You can download these from the internet for free if that is what jerks your chain !!!

I don't watch too much TV any more (because it is mainly ****e) but I do not know how I have not put my foot thru the telly when these ads come on !!!

Corruptedmorals

My sister loves that ad.

(She's insane)

I saw that one last night.... It is above and beyond the most heinous of all the ring tone adverts.

My brother has the frog as his ring tone my soul dies a bit every time it goes off

You mustn't have watched a music channel in a while, you'd be doing well to see anything but a ringtone type ad.

Hobbes

I think they robbed a few others as well in the ring tones. Like the punk kittens flash movie for example.

rainbow kirby

This ad needs to die. After one night of babysitting for my MTV-obsessed cousin I wanted to strangle the frog.

Jaysus man... that's rough.

Is there not some sort of support group out there that can help you?

I just wish he wasn't anatomically correct.

Kill him... for the love of god kill him... preferably by choking him on a phone!

Ironic deaths are always the best...

Mossy Monk

make that citizen and his anal frog sounding phone go to siberia or some place away from civilisation

mp3guy

oh, i know a guy who's getting a new phone and one day he says: "I'm gonna get that crazy frog thing, that's deadly don't you think?" I swear, i nearly strangled him.... damned people like him keeping those pieces of (exceptionally large) **** alive... ugh

Ringtone ads, crazy frogs, keanooooo, jokes on your mobile and youll be crawlin on da floor, all this bullsh!t should be banned, and the creators forced to listen to nothing but the crazy frog for the rest of thier lives. I mean seriously, who buys this sh!t?? Whats worst about these f*cking ads tho, is the face that you see them so often, you can recite almost every one word for word, and i dont even watch that much TV!!
Im just waiting for the day MTV turns into one long ringtone ad.

ando

well I taught it was funny the first time I seen it, about 6 months ago, probably because I love F1, but having it on da phone is a tad bit to far :rolleyes:

Chong

I flippin hate that advert I feel like throwing the tv out the bloody window and not only that I hate every flamin ringtone advert. I can't actually believe ppl buy this crap.

boo4842

I haven't seen it, since I don't live over there anymore, but I googled it and found it on the net. Is it just those race car sounds?

Are people actually saying "thats deadly, I'm going to pay for that?"

I remember that f*ckin purple hippo thing. Does this company just take things that have been on the internet for months and then make it a ringtone because they don't have to pay royalties?

I think I'm going to get that puke picture or the squirrel nuts picture and sell it as a wallpaper and make millions.

^whitey^

It was funny the first time I heard it a couple of years ago on the net somewhere .... now I have to hear it any time i'm at work.

Kind of - except they have an animated frog doing it on the ad. For the ringtone, it's just the terrible noises... Oh god, it's so bad!

steveland?

no it's just the most annoying sound in the world boo4842

jonnybadd

It is possibly THE most annoying ad on television ever ever ever ever, a guy in my class has it as his ringtone and i literally want to rip it from his grasp and beat him to death with phone shoved in his shoes, or something anyway....BAN THIS FILTH IMMEDIATLY

steveland?

all those ringtone ads are just the most annoying things on tv.

Screw just campaigning against the Crazy Frog ad... get them all off the air!

Honest to god i saw one ad break with 8(!) of them

Amen to that... spend like €15 on a data cable for your phone, never buy another ringtone.
You really have to wonder at the mentality of someone who has to have "the latest cool ringtones"... do people get slagged off for having a normal "ring ring" or "beep beep"?
Once the 57113 adds start coming on, I change channel and find something else to watch... most of the time I forget what I was watching, but it's worth it to not have to look at stupid wobbly-dancing phones.

Actually from this, you could argue that the adds work since I know the number... but they'll never get a penny out of me just for being such annoying cnts... If I do ever feel the need to buy a ringtone I'll be steering clear of them and anyone else who's tortured me with shít adds.

Farls

I know a lad at college who has it....its funny the first time, if you have digital its just mind numbing....

The amount of ringtone and wallpaper and game add's on teh box lately is unreal though. It's like every little chance they get theirs 3 of them in a row on! I don't know how they stay afloat because their can't be that big a demand on them when you can just as easily hold most phones up against the speaker and record them anyway for free.

Really annoying tho, email on its way

Farlz

Hobbes

The system is partly a scam. My niece signed up for one of them one time to get some ringtone or other, but it wasn't overly advertised that they would continue to bill you monthly (like a membership). It also took her a while to get it disabled.

dahamsta

I haven't come across one in Real Life[TM] yet, but rest assured that when I do I'll kick the living crap out of the perpetrator on everyone's behalf.

adam /really a pacifist/coward, but schtum

Perhaps it's because I don't watch TV that I don't know this ad...has anyone got a link to it?

steveland?

yeh the whole thing's a scam.

imo anyone who's dumb enough to text into it deserves to have up to 7quid a week taken out of their credit.

I just saw a crazy frog ad on the side of a page and i accidentely hovered the mouse over it and it played the sound

Here's what I could find: llink. Dunno if it's the same as the one in the ad because I don't know the ad but it's fcuking annoying and I advise you not to listen because the bloody thing is in my head now :mad:

steveland?

why in the name of christ did i click on that...................

simu

Is the frog really "anatomically correct"?

If it is, someone could ring live line and start a scandal about animal porn being advertised to kids on TV!

I'm usually against such puritanism but in this case, if those frog ads were gotten rid of, the end would have justified the means!

ven0m

That ad makes me wanna get a black & decker industrial drill & run it through my head gggggaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh - MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to add my support to this noble cause. Ban all ads related to telephonic services. All those "Phone Bar" ads are really ****ing annoying too. Yeah, like sure, I wanna spend €2 a minute to talk to some other sad lonely git... :rolleyes:

seamus

Stickied.

I just don't watch it. It gets turned off as soon as it comes on. I have yet to hear someone with it on their phone. If I do, it's getting rammed up their ass.

DirtyDog

I'm now talking or rather reving in my sleep because of it "brrrrrriniinnnnn diiinnd din din din din din"

Gilgamesh

I was allways wondering if you should actually text four clipart Yoyos to them and see how they respond.
they ARE allways asking for yoyos

The ultimate solution, I think, to stop all these ads on TV is as following.

Someone needs to invent a decoder or TV which has a built in program that blocks adds i.e. stops ads from coming on the screen. Kinda similar to the ad blockers you can get for internet browsers. All you have to do is have a setting that switches from normal TV viewing to, lets say, music of your choice or something else, whenever a commercial break starts. It can be triggered by the splash screen that comes up for each channel.

Even if this device isn't invented by someone soon, if you watch TV through your PC, you could use some program to stop the ads from showing. It doesn't seem too difficult to do. Problem solved.

Then all the crappy television stations that rely on ads for extra income will hopefully go out of business cos no-one's watchin their ads and they won't get any new contracts for ads.

Just a thought

Ah, if only. See, I work from home, and tend to leave the TV on all day. 'Time I got up and turned it off, it's gone...

Here's another thing that bugs me: Double ads. You know the ones, they make a passionate appeal for your donation of €1.23 a month, perhaps with an image of a doleful puppy taking it up the butt from a vicious and cruel german shepherd, and then come back a minute or two later to "remind" you. Because of the season it is, you get a string of these at the start and the end of every ad session. And of course there's the double "phone bar" ads, fifteen sections each, one after the other, designed by a being with slightly less intelligence than Booga from Tank Girl.

Was it TiVo or ReplayTV in the States just added "functionality" to their PVR's that'll stick an advert on the screen when you're fast-forwarding past the ads? (But actually it probably wouldn't be too difficult to do this if you were using MythTV or one of the other open source PVR yokes.)
