I have noticed they are every 2nd advert or so now.
I tend to hit mute.

I had to have a serious dad/son talk with my lad over this. He is ten, and he kept saying stuff like 'cool' and 'wicked' when the advert came on TV.



Hopefully he now has a clearer understanding

Ever since they started making the ads louder than the programmes, I usually hit mute for all of them. Infuriating.

i was gonna post this earlier, what tw@ts are putting this cr@p on there phones?
There's another one with the 'little birds' thats just as annoying.

Luckily I havent heard anyone's phone ring with these yet but I will have to kill them if this happens

Worst thing is someone somewhere is probably buying a gallardo off the profits of this jamster club sh:t

3 of those blummin' adverts in the last ad break.

I'm going to go onto hitmenRus.com and send one into the Jamster building.

It seems they have nicked that silly voice off the net of someone mimicking a car engine.

I have every one of the ads above, it was a 2mb download found from gooogle... You know when people leave their phones lying around annoying colleagues etc, they come back and find Axel F frog remixes, Sweety the chick etc as their ringtone (full volume etc lol)

As for paying 3 credits a tone - don't be silly..

I reckon there has to be a subliminal message that sucks in, well, whoever feels it necessary to to buy (why?) ring tones.

Wonder if it's really a tax scam from the treasury - hand out the social security with one hand, get it back with the other.

Wonder which ad agency is handling the account and whether they ever want any more business?

If the campaign is subsequently proved to be successful we will no doubt get more of them. I think drastic steps will be required.

It's annoying the hell out of me yet I hardly ever see any TV.

ASBO anyone?

That kind of advertising is VERY expensive. A pair of 20 second slots in between both Emmerdale and Corrie will easily set you back about £20K a night, and that's just for ITV - imagine how much they're spending on advertising across all the SKY channels (where they totally dominate every singel ad break), all the internet banners and in all the magazines.

It is worying that in order for Jamster to spend £000,000's on advertising each month there must be millions of idiots actually finding the ads amusing enough to buy this (overpriced) crap.

My ten year-old is the same. So at least we now know the mental age of the people who are buying this bloody ring tone.
