Who else here is sick to death of Jamster commercials?
You know, the ones that tell you to text message to some number (35555?) with your cell to get the "coolest", "newest" cellphone rings animation and wallpapers.:grr::grr:

If it isnt bad enough that the ringtones and wallpaper are usually 'cute' at best and 'annoying' at worst, they have to go and have commercials EVERY SINGLE BREAK! :grr: sometimes they are on for the WHOLE BREAK, 8 in a row. :grr::grr: Hell if you watch 30 minutes of TV youll have seen the same 3 or 4 commercials a dozen times!! :grr: They are all over comedy central and several other TV and radio stations!

The sick part is theyll charge you $2+ a week at least to use it!

NO I dont want a ringtone of a purple dinosaur singing a cell phone rap!
NO I dont want clipart 8 bit wallpaper!
NO I dont want a high pitched singing cross between a yellow rubber duck and a tribble!

AAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH!! :argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:
</rant>

Ahhh that felt good. Feel free to post similar rants and observations :)

1. I was JUST gonna write about that!!!!
Look Jamster, I don't have one of those fancy-schmancy cellphones that are like a little computer that have a flip screen and colour monitors. I have a 2 year-old spinach green-screened rectanguar block Nokia phone, and that works JUST FINE for me.

And HOW THE HELL did you get all these networks to show THREE OR FOUR of your fucking commercials every COMMERCIAL BREAK???!!! Who did you have to blow??!!

You goddamn shit is a ripoff, anyway.

2. I hate those damn things.
Every time I see one of their commercials, the channel gets changed faster than if it were a Girls Gone Wild promo. And that's pretty damn fast.

3. I haven't seen any of those commercials.
Guess they aren't showing them in my part of the country.

4. I'm getting less disposed to watching Comedy Central because of these.
Comedy Central airs these stupid ads ad nauseum.

Yes, $104 a year for tacky looking cell phone wallpaper and a parody of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" as a ringtone. UGH.
