Last week, Pete Lyons posted about the annoying Crazy Frog animation. There’s an interesting history to this “annoying thing” as documented on Wikipedia. It started out in 1997 with a recording by Daniel Malmedahl imitating sounds made by friends’ souped-up mopeds. The recording circulated and eventually showed up on the web as in a Flash-based Insanity Test.
Last year the audio was licensed as a cellphone ringtone by a German company. It eventually became the most commercially successful ringtone of all time.
Who the heck would want to use this as a ringtone?
