Scarby Posted 17 February 2005 Share Posted 17 February 2005 From Yahoo News LONDON (Reuters) - The "Crazy Frog" mobile phone ringtone -- loved and loathed in equal measure -- is to be released as a pop single.Television adverts plugging the "tune", featuring an animated frog wearing motorcycle helmet and goggles, with a broad smile and a visible tiny penis, have made it a huge success. The tone has been downloaded a million times. "You either love it or hate it -- there's no in between," said BBC Radio 1 DJ Wes Butters, one of a group of DJs and producers who have formed the group "Pondlife" to release the song. The TV spots have prompted several complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority from viewers who object to their frequency and to the frog's genitalia. The ad has, however, been ruled acceptable by the Authority. Whether the single will be deemed acceptable by the public when it is released in April is an open question.
