Things That Will Make Me Hunt You Down

And beat you with my shoe, purse, or car--whatever's handy:

A Moaning Ring Tone on your Cellphone.

What the hell? Having to listen to the first few notes of "Toxic" over and over again isn't nearly annoying enough? Now I have to listen to the aural equivalent of Meg Ryan's diner scene when some moron who can't grok the concept of "put phone on vibrate" is out in public?

Given the audience these tones are aimed at, I would think "vibrate" would have been sufficient for their needs.

On the other hand, those ring tones might serve the useful public service of letting all women within a 10 foot radius know EXACTLY which man to avoid, and letting men know which woman to zero in on.

But as for me, I'll just be chucking a Nine West at the head of the idiot with the pR0n phone.

According to sociologist Erving Goffman (``Response Cries''), the sexual moan is used to track progress in the absence of the real thing.
