I welcome this request ,if it helps to clear the internet of this crap.
then some good will have been done.
I have absolutely no problem with removing copyright material.
But in my reply i will ask them to remove their offensive material off my telly.
I have an idea people ,lobby your TV channels and radio stations,
tell them you no longer watch/listen to them.
This is the best way to attack this ‘problem’
TV and Radio thrive on viewing figures
and i just bet ,channels that dont play this rubbish have seen their figures increase.
I have noticed that my local radio station ( Key 103 Manchester) does not play
these annoying adverts. And they are constantly fighting for more listeners.
(Manchester voices is back on tuesday)
Update: Just watched the opening show of Big Brother 6 on channel 4
Do you know what was missing?
The frog during the Ad breaks that’s what,interesting eh.
Let’s see how long they can keep it up for.
Update :23:07
Apparantly not very long,Jam$ter annoying us already on E4
It got turned over quicker than a frog in a blender.
Feel sorry for the advertiser that followed,What a waste of money.
Here is a direct e-mail address to the Manager Business Affairs
tell him/her directly what you think of the frog/chick/dragon/bear……….

CRAZY FROG RULEZ!
You know what, I have never liked TV adverts much, but have tolerated them.. Not any more. That frog, bird and I assume dragon? need putting down now. What kind of deranged moron wastes ?3 downloading a poor quality version of what was in essence poor quality crap in the first place. I applaude all the ppl here who think it sucks for their intelligence and quality of their personality. To those who think that Crazy frog is good or quality then I can only suggest that you go play with the traffic you sad, sad morons.
thank you nic and i totally agree
as for adam.. im guessing ur a chav??
If enough people file a formal complaint about the adverts, something along the lines of causing mental anguish, stress, anger. Then they will have no choice but to remove the adverts. Thats the same reason why the crazy frog no longer has genitalia.
At first i thought it was funny when i saw it on funny junk and then wen it was a frog it just mad me want to reach for the ibuprofen i can deal with it playin on my comp once or twice but if it plays 500 times in one advert break i start to do my nut, somebody shoot the guy who created it!!!
kill that FROG
well i dnt tink dat crazy frog aint dat bad i mean if it is dat horrid it would neva have bean numba one in da charts 4 lik a month or so yes i agree it gets anoyin very anoyin actually but at least u can laugh at it & u shud b thankfull it isnt actually alive
Really glad to find your site – now I know what a good one looks like. I guess I better do some more work on my blog now http://getringtones.blogsome.com
