does anybody get annoyed with the amount of adds for ring tones, wallpapers etc etc, here in australia, there are so many adds for these, i want to shoot the tv at times, and the price for them is ludacris, some are up to $24 per week, and if you read the fine print at the bottom of the screen, it says, it's a subscription service, and they will txt your a message at $4.00 or what ever, then sent up to 6 tones a week at same price each, then there is the sexy wallpapers or games, if you want to look at half naked chicks, there is plenty on the internet for free, why pay $24 a week for it, and the games, you can buy the things for less that $60 and have it for life. And anyway why subscribe to a service for crap, when you can make them yourself, you can download the programs to do, and make as many as you want. Here is the latest, for $24 a week, you can subscribe for a RADAR, yea right, like a mobile phone can send a beam of electrons and then receive them and paint the image of objects close by. What do other people think, do you get annoyed with those adds, they all ways get you right in the middle of a good show too, i have even noticed, there are the adds on for dating services, trying to target housewifes?

yes ! i get annoyed at these adds ! i live in australia too and have seen both the "ring tone" adds and the "dating services" adds... i also HATE the adds where the overvoice SCREAMS at you like crazy ! its SO annoying ! i agree with u in the fact that they overcharge ppl for these ringtones. it really is as u said, ludacris. they're just another company trying to make easy money by reaching out thru all their colourful, noisy adds in the hope of a bored person deciding to take the silly offer. btw wat programs do u noe of that u can download to make ringtones ? i'd be interested in this if there are any on the net to download for free. thanks for the great topic ! happy postings !! =)
