Can You Hear Me Now? Whose Ringtone Would You Blast?

May 9, 2008

I suppose it was only a matter of time — for those of you el sicko of the campaign-o, Slate has found a way to make it even more culturally insidious. (Of course it's possible! Dare to dream!) Are you ready for this? Candidate. Cell phone. Ringtones.

I can't help it; they're so obnoxious they fill me with glee. They have a selection, and here are a few favorites. Which one would you assign to your best friend? Your nemesis? Would you give any of them a jangle?

McCain:

Obama:

Hillary:

I would alternate all three of them as text message alerts. Be good for a laugh every now and again. I'd surreptitiously change it to McCain and wait for my next text. Sorta funny.

Oh man, my boyfriend would totally put the Hillary one on his phone. He loves her cackle.

I'd rather get Rodney Carrington's "Dear Penis" song for my ringtone:evil:

Well, that Hillary cackle would make sure I answer the phone quickly! Obama's "Yes we can" just bugs the cr@p out of me. Remember, it started as "Si se puede", which is also how he used it in the beginning. This is the battle cry of the illegals: "yes we can" demand and get preferential treatment, "yes we can" flout the laws and be rewarded for it. :irk:

I think I'll just pass on the ring tones. I cut my phone off when I go inside most buildings. Nothing more disrespectful than being interrupted by a phone call when talking to someone.Think about it. By keeping the phone on, a person is saying that the caller is of more importance than the current audience.How tacky.

Hillary's, if only because I can't stand the other two. Ugh. Bleeding ears.

Obama's is just not funny, but if I was a strong supporter I'd like that ringtone. But McCain's "little jerk" quote is hilarious.

I always crack up at the "little jerk" quote, but Hillary's laugh warms my soul. Decisions, decisions.

There could've been so many other McCain snippets to pick. Why select one that paints him in the worst light. Oh nevermind, I forgot this is a liberal blog ;)

Obama actually sounds like he's crying in that recording... like a whining child saying "yes we cannnnnnnn" lol I don't like any of them, and yep makes cell phones even more annoying.
