Just wondering whether this was a world-wide epidemic, rather than just a British. It's an advert for a ringtone that they're persisting to show EVERY advert break, on practically EVERY channel, and it's starting to get really annoying. It features this weird blue frog making noises like a moped and driving an invisible motorbike whilst being chased by some weird...things.

So...I'm guessing it's just an England thing. Sounds really weird, doesn't it? Well, it is. I'd post a picture...but...

Mercifully, I've never seen him before. He does look rather creepy, doesn't he? ; I don't know if he's on TV here; I don't watch a whole lot (usually just watch DVDs, read books, and go on the computer in my spare time).

A catalogue? Did they...ermm...block out the...err...Well, anyway, he is to do with mobile phones and stuff- it's a ringtone with him going "Brrrring, bbba baaa" etc.

I didn't think they were showing it in Canada, though I know for a fact that they're showing it in Germany.
And it was all started in England, by some guy doing an impression of his friend's mopeds, then some company called 'Jamster' animated the frog and put his voice with it. It's made around 10 MILLION pounds, a LOT of money.
And the block out is of...Whoever animated him in the first place obviously didn't realise how big he would be, since they only started showing it on music channels, so he was animated with an extra...appendige down below, if you see what I mean. But when it spread to other channels, they put a black box over it.

Yeah, it was a struggle to find a picture of him without it- it seems to be one of the main reasons people are paying for this rubbish.
