after years of fighting it like i was a giant white blood cell trying to stave off infection, i finally succumbed to the disease that is mobile phone ownership. yes, i too am able to walk around acting like my conversation isn't annoying to others; i too can drive while ordering pizza; i too can interrupt a film with my motherfucking phone beeping.i've faced it: resistance is futile (and even more so when your wife makes you buy a cell phone...)....and already i've become completely dependent on the vile device, feeling naked when i leave home without it. and already i've become completely dissatisfied with the ringtones that are available to me --- they all sound like either an advertisement for nextel or the theme song to some retarded game show. in fact, they are ALL annoying, even home-made ones. they're like personalized license plates --- even the "clever" ones are fucking lame.so.....if ringtones are all annoying and stupid, why not up the ante? why not make our own ringtones, ones designed to irritate, nauseate and annoy those around us? or, if possible, actually design tones that are clever enough to transcend the idiocy of the medium?i suggest we make a ringtone compilation.personally, i would derive more pleasure from devising the world's most agonizing ringtone.i envision a world where a viral ringtone makes society so terrified of making a call that people starting actually interacting withlive human beings.or at the very least, a world where when a phone goes off it doesn't make me want to commit vehicular homicide. either/or.think about it. 30 second clips, low bitrate encoding, uploaded for the world to spread.anyways, at this point i'm more interested in new ways of disseminating noise more than anything, and what's more 2007 than motherfucking ringtones?
