Crazy Frog

FilboidStudge, Jun 27, 2005

Crazy Frog is the generation gap personified. Twelve-year-olds have gone gaga over the mentally ill animated amphibian with the pixellated cock and his ringtone renderings of re-heated synth classics, while their parents are driven to distraction by the gurning little bastard and his helium jabberings. The antagonism is compounded by the fact that the parents generally have no clue what a ringtone is for, how to download one, or how, indeed, to prevent their young children accessing websites showing German people having conjugal relations with animals more traditionally used in dairy farming.

I think Crazy Frog is fantastic, for two reasons: 1) it supplies us with final proof, as if any were needed, that the pop charts are a joke; and 2) "Axel F" kept bedwetting kings of mediocrity Coldplays "Speed Of Sound" off the number one spot in the UK, and for this reason alone, froggy deserves a knighthood.

But say "ding ding" to me one more time and youll find yourself buried in a shallow grave somewhere outside Caister-on-Sea.
