OK im joking obviously

Ive never seen so many ads for these ringtones being used en bloc in every ad during e4 ch4 BB coverage

Could they not lose viewers if they keep putting these annoying ads on all the time!!!

I have to put the volume down as soon as i hear an ad break knowing whats about to happen..............

It's not just BB either - during Scrubs the ads appear twice each break - they must be spending a fortune on ads, and then royalties to Harold Faltermeyer.

I just laugh at the thought of all he retards who sign up not realising they're signing up for a subscription service at £6 per fortnight.

I was ready then to have a go at you then . Just watch BB on the net, at least you don't have advert breaks.

I wonder if CH4 can refuse them to advertise as they might lose viewers???

Maybe a petition is required!

I fear for my sanity with these ringtones!

My tv set is lucky to have escaped being murdered!

I feel that Endemol have finally acheived the age group they have sought for the last few years (of which I am not privy). Whether it will pay or not....only time and the viewing figures will tell.

Imagine my horror, after turning my tv off earlier to escape the frog....I opened ICQ to send a file to a friend, only to find the frog had followed me there and was the advert on the bottom of the ICQ chat window!!!

In my opinion there is only one winner of BB6.....the frog!!!!

I heard that 11 million had downloaded......if that is correct it is no wonder they can afford so many advertising slots.

yes it's true: once you sign up you're stuck with it forever until you text them saying to want to unsubscribe.

but if they're that mindmeltingly tasteless, then as Burstovary says, they deserve what they get.

And we should all enjoy their misfortune.

I hit the mute button and play the Coldplay swingle during the ads.

Now I'm sick of the Coldplay single instead.

Some people had the bright idea to text for the one ringtone, then text "STOP" immediately afterward. Good in theory until you realise that each first order is £6 or so and they only go to £1.50 per tone AFTER that. In other words, if you get a tone, text "STOP" each time, you are spending £6, not the £1.50 you thought you were.

What's just about it? The whole thing is a fscking rip off. It's the 21st century equivalent to the book clubs and software clubs of the 80s and 90s - get one now, but you have to buy so many in the first year....
