One of the people responsable for the Crazy Frog has apologised.
One of my cow-orkers has the Happy Tree Friends theme as his ring tone. This is one of which I heartily approve, given: 1) his is the only phone I have heard with it, and 2) HTF&F is pretty cool in its own right. Hmmm, demented elfish cute furry animals on acid and nitrous (and possibly helium), with chainsaws. What's not to love?
The ring tone was created in the late 1990s by Swedish teenager Daniel Malmedahl, who posted his impersonation of a two-stroke motor - "Beh-ding ding ding dididing ding bing bing pscht'' - on the web after it amused his friends.
Erik Wernquist, a 3D graphics designer, downloaded the bizarre noise and in 2003 created a cartoon of a frog wearing a racing helmet to go with it, initially naming it The Annoying Thing.
He has since apologised: "I totally understand that it's annoying for everybody who has to see it.''
