The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

This just goes to show how much of a sham of a mockery of a mockery of a sham the singles chart really is! if this crap can make it to number 1 any random noise should be able to! I also think is pointless as hardly anyone buys singles nemore (although I do acknowledge that ppl download them) Why buy the single when u can buy the album?! and why have singles chart on radio 1 when it seems that only 7-10 year olds or the 'hard of thinking' contribute!

There aren't strong enough words to really say how pathetic this is, and the ones I can think of are mainly swear words. I think this is the lowest society has even been, what's gone wrong? This just goes to prove that most people really are just sheep following their shepard.

Lets just hope that the general population of this great country isn't so f*cking stupid as to make it number one again!

I think someone should re-release John Cage's 4'33" and see it that goes to number one, it would be so much better than the 'Crazy Frog'.

If 4'33'' got played on TV enough it would get to number 1 look at the crazy frog!! ;) and could u imagine the chavs "Oh listen to my new ringtone" (or not as the case maybe!) I think jamster could still probably manage to make it tacky.

worrying thing is when I was in Asda saturday evening, I saw this kid walk over to the CD racks and only pick up Crazy frog coz it was the only 1 he could reach. Then he walked off with it making the noises of the frog.

I was watching a documentary/drama on channel 5 tonight about the terrorists who hi-jacked the 1st palne that hit the world trade center. And they played the frog in the breaks. So disrespectful, i mean it was a long while ago i know. But come on if there was a good time to give that ad a break it would be then (allthough stop it for good would do me). You know they are showing a re-construction of the terrorists slamming the 1st plane into the world trade center while screaming "allah-o-akbar" moments before impact, then 5 mins later you have an ad-break showing three different versions of that frog... unreal!

Im just using it as half an excuse to get the darn frog off that tv. There wouldn't of been a better time to give that ad a break, thats all i am saying (although i would prefer it gone forever), so screw it! Who cares.

By the way i didn't listen to the chart show on Sunday, but how many copies did it outsell Coldplay by in the end?

I hope it's played more often just to piss off people who don't shut the * up about it. Jamster have said a second Crazy Frog single is already in the works.

Plus there's more to come from Brad the Brat, Sweety the Chick and Nessie the Tiny Dragon.

How the hell did I know that was coming... Like I said a big circle, it's going to keep going round and round with Jamsters characters. May as well get used to it, until Eminem takes the p*ss out of it all and destroys it...

You name me a profit-making organisation who, as a company, could not be accused of being "greedy" - I don't think you'll find one.

I don't know if it is the worst. But "the crazy frog" has to be one of them. In the past you have had "tracks" such as Bob the builder get to number 1, i mean it's a record that was aimed at kids, but it didn't annoy you. It was just there. I'd like to see that frog beat the "macareena" though! Those guys "lost del tossers" or somthin' are still livin of the money they made, dont blame em'!
