Death to commercials
 
Hello everybody, I just have that little rant of mine prepared. And I think many of you can relate to that subject. Here it goes:

God damn that sweety!!! Just kill it! Die Sweety! Many of you might wonder "what the heck is he cursing at now?" That's easy... Sweety the bloody stupid chick. It must die. NOW!!!

Now, who is Sweety and how did we deserve that monster? Sweety is Jamba's newest creation. Jamba is a company that offers Logos, ringtones and funsounds for YOUR mobile. Whatever. As soon as you are ready to pay 15 bucks for a short message then you get "all the newest and best ringtones on YOUR cell phone with the super-saver-package". "Super-saver-package" means nothing more than that you get about 60 new ringtones and funsounds (all are as original as a fart or a burp, and you can even have one of those "extreme-gays") and best is: each of those tones costs you about 5 bucks. Actually, that's where the fun should stop for teenagers. But no, teenagers get in debts, parents are worried and innocent bus-passengers are annoyed with the newest and best ringtones and funsounds... on YOUR mobile.

Up to now, Jamba has bastardized everything funny the internet has to offer. www.very.de is a good example of that, they call it "the crazy frog". For 5 bucks on YOUR mobile. Also they have created new ... ehm... stuff.

MTV and other music channels had those spots on heavy rotation, so you could enjoy "the crazy frog" about 5 times per commercial break. and MTV still has those spots on heavy rotation. But, they have replaced them all with Sweety. So you get to see Sweety about 50 times an hour. Plus: Jamba decided to invade other channels too. So you get to see Sweety 360 times a day (this one has been counted by other crazy people).

And Sweety has now been around for about 4 weeks. 4*7*360 = 10'080. Disgusting.

Sweety needs to go... now. Or I'll personally kill the programmer responsible for that... that... demon!

Oh, yeah, here's a pic:

Am I the only one who feels the urge to destroy a certain commercial? I await your stories.

God I hate those commercials with a passion too there so stupid and gay. :dead: And I see one of them atleast once a damn day.

Anarky 01-25-2005 04:48 PM

Once a day? Those were the days... we get to see Sweety every 4 minutes (average number).

I'm see the Jamster commercials all the time, they piss me off. Those sir mix a lot ringtones are ridiculous. Lets pay $5+ for a wallpaper of a dragon turning into a dolphin. Yes, that is an actual wallpaper.

Anarky 01-25-2005 05:13 PM

Oh my god. Jamster is Jamba! It's only a matter of time until you get infected with Sweety.

damnhooligan 01-25-2005 05:54 PM

Hahaha! I was just watching Viva La Bam on MTV, and that goddamn chicken commercial was on at least three times in that half hour. It almost makes me pleased that I have a piece of sh*t monochrome-display phone.

Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands have had to suffer through nearly a solid year of those damn hippo/rhino/rat/frog/chicken commercials. Americans, you have only just tasted the horror that is Jamba.



EDIT: HAHAH! The UK is pissed at that Crazy Frog.

I was watching "Pimp my Ride" last week and they had that "Sweety" commercial 5 times (no kidding!!!) in one commercial break. Jamba needs to die.

GK Punk 01-26-2005 01:41 AM

Yeah I've already seen that commercial countless times >_<
I Can't stand Jamster. I hope they go out of buisness.

Barkworm 01-26-2005 01:46 AM

The sad thing is that there are some people who actually download those ringtones. In fact there's an awful lot. Otherwise Jamster/Jamba wouldn't have the money to place their godamn commercials everywhere.

Machias Banshee 01-26-2005 09:26 AM

oh my gosh... the sounds of that Crazy frog? They stole that from a thing online.

Its a picture of a racecar, with THAT Exact background noise. At the top it says "If you laugh before the thing is over, youre officially crazy". I've seen it!

*edit*
Found it.. this one's an oldie. I remember seeing it in Middle or High School...

http://www.frenzy.com/~jester/racecar.html

Jeezum, nothing's sacred anymore! :roll:

Anarky 01-26-2005 11:39 AM

Yes, Machi, it was stolen. Sad isn't it. Plus, your source is also a stolen one :D The original is www.very.de

I remember watching/listening to that in our library and we fell ff our chairs laughing. Really. Then we got thrown out. Those were the days...

Oh man. I hate that damned frog and those stupid ringtone commercials with dancing purple hippos or whatever. That crazy frog sound bit used to be the 'online insanity test' whereby if you laugh you must be insane. Now it is repeated so many times it will literally drive you insane

I wholeheartedly agree with you

Mecha Cow 01-26-2005 12:22 PM

Sweety eh? I suppose it won't be long before we get that one over here. We still get the Crazy Frog or some variation of it every five minutes.

And the Crazy Frog sound was not stolen. It was sold to Jamba.

Foxy Boy 01-26-2005 02:38 PM

I know I'm being nitpicky, but weapon x, using homosexuality as an insult is more embarrassingly passe and unintelligent than "Yo mama" jokes. Surely you can come up with something better than that to say.
AAAAAAnyway, as far as I know, I've seen at least 30 Jamster "fun sounds" commercials, and none of them were the same. Spike the rhino was kind of cool, and the dancing hamster was just flat-out hilarious, but the rest are mostly either "urban culture" or "hot chicks" and yes, Jamster needs to go down in a blaze of glory and take their wallpapers and ringtones with them.

I hate those too and I hate Old Navey ads! Im also tired of seeing morons on TV. Everytime I turn on Fox its some stupid reality show with retards on it. I hate TV period

Ryona 01-27-2005 08:42 AM

Death to TV! ...Seriously... TV just sucks now...

I don't even watch much TV any more... I haven't for a long time...

There's just too much garbage on TV now.

Peanut 01-27-2005 09:19 AM

Same with me. I watch TV sparingly. Mostly I watch "The Detour" on Teletoon, which is our answer to Cartoon Networks Adult Swim here in Canada. Family Guy, Futurama, Home Movies, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Such a great line up.
