Ok quick rant... I always have MTV on in the background right, and you know how every commercial break consists of like 50 ads for handy stuff? Well there is this ringtone that they play like 5 times in one comercial break and ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY! I can't understand why anyone would want that? Its the little chicken..Sweety das Küken... what do u think of it?

You can ask my flatmate how I feel about that stupid yellow piece of crap. Okay maybe that says it all. I feel like hurling the TV out the window everytime that commercial comes on which is usually 3 times every commercial break.
I was on the bus headed to TB last weekend when someone's cell phone rang and she had that as her ringtone. My nails dug into the seat. Then it rang a second time 5 min later. So I grabbed her cell phone, stepped on it a bunch of times and throw it out the bus window...okay I didn't but I wanted to.

i have only come across this advert once (cos I rarely watch German commercial TV) but this one time it was one continuous loop for about 10 minutes.

'I may be soft, I may be sweet, but baby I know how to move my feet' followed by something completely indecipherable!
Does anyone have any idea what the marketing department is thinking? I have a feeling subliminal messages are involved.

I don't watch TV normally but I did a bit on holiday so I caught this SHITE!
Then I saw the prices EUR 4,99 !!!
I think the government is considering banning this crap.
Good so.

we don't need the governement to ban the shit, they should just introduce a law about annoying adverts or something.

I deciphered it!!! I actually went to the JAMBA website and deciphered it... Anything for you guys...
"When I start to hear the beat,
I just gotta move my feet,
And it makes me wanna tweet,
Tweet tweet tweet tweet tee tweet."
I hate it!!! Everytime it starts, I just jump up and start looking for the remote and fail miserably... Every... fucking... time!!! I'm exposed to the full version at least once a day.

What I don't get is the amount of people who must buy this crap. On certain channels the Jamba adverts have almost completely taken over. Must be making a lot of money to be able to have so much advertising time.

OG, 'spose you think I'm a meddling lefty for going for ban huh!
Fact is these things are VASTLY overpriced, aimed at kids on pre-pay and sucking up a HUGE ammount of their money under dubious pretences.
DOES a 14 year old REALLY read all that small print on the screen that it costs EUR 4,99 (best part of a week's worth of handy calls?) and that it is an Abo which means they are going to get billed EUR 4,99 next month and next month till they send a EUR 1 SMS to stop it?

Read this post this morning, voted hate it, although I felt that option was a bit mild... I hate, despise and abhor that bloody chick and could quite gladly put my fist through the TV screen when it's on.
Am back now, just to say thanks erdbeere, I've had that song going round my head all day. cheers.

Oh god, what was the british kids programme where the theme tune had the line "turn off your tv and do something more useful instead" ? I may well kick myself when somebody tells me, but I can't for the life of me think of the answer

"Why dont you" - turn off your tv and do something more useful instead
and.. I HATE THAT F*CKING CHICK!!! I thought I was the only one who wanted to hammer the TV when its on

I hated the hippo too.. and I hated the frog thing, only cos it was a blatant and inferior rip off drom the insanity test!

*waits for torrent of disdain*
Of course the entire ring tone franchise is very VERY out of hand on MTV...every two minutes for the SAME ring tone. What is up with advertising here? I dunno.
They have a new one for the chicken with a funkier beat. Perhaps that will help. We certainly don't want hammers and fists through television sets...no that is just not on.

Yeah it annoys me, on the couple of times I had seen it. But then I am not used to ads in general. It only annoyed me as much as most ads on TV. Or most of the actual shows on tv for that matter. I can hardly tell the difference between the music videos on MTV and the ring tone ads. Both are trying to sell me a lifestyle using annoying jingles and something to stare at. Turns me right off. I do like the way that ringtones help fulful the old adage "a fool and their money are soon parted".
erdbeere
Jan 26 2005, 7:08 pm
@blimeygirl.. the funkier beat doesn't help at all.. might even make it worse.. like they know its shit and are trying to make it cool by adding a cool beat to it.. not workin tho.

For a long time I have wanted to firebomb the Jamba headquarters, that fucking little chick is just the latest in a long line of exceedingly irritating jingles. Arrrrrgghhhh!! JAMBA MUST DIE! Ringtones are the work of the devil!
And the same goes for those sex phone ads on endless loop .. get the fuck off my TV you ugly bints!

Ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks those Jamba ads are F'ING ANNOYING...
Actually my buddy at VeriSign was in charge of buying Jamba and (in theory) is in charge of the division... I've asked him if he can use some pull and do something about the f'ing ads... however, he tells me the younger folks respond well to that crap...
