For kr4sh, who linked to that damn crazy frog thing a couple of weeks ago:

Crazy Frog ringtone outsells Coldplay

"Not content, however, with having the thing on their mobiles, it appears droves of people - a predicted 150,000 this week alone - want Crazy Frog in their CD players too, and the tune is set to become the first mobile ringtone to make it to the top of the charts.

Record shops yesterday reported that the single by German band Bass Bumpers, which mixes the ringtone with Axel F, Harold Faltermeyer's theme tune from the film Beverley Hills Cop, is outselling Coldplay by a margin of around four to one."

You know, the whole time we were in Europe that frog thing was all over the television. It took seeing the commerical five or six times before we figured out it was an ad for ringtones. (I'd never seen a ringtone ad before.) I still don't get it.

I didn't even know it was a ringtone... I just thought it was some funny animation thing some kids cooked up in their basement.

Ah well... It's still funny.
