A California resident has sued ringtone company Jamster over what he claims are misleading advertising practices that lure younger users into paying for text messages by advertising it as a "free ringtone." Charles Ford filed the lawsuit in a San Diego court, saying he was charged $1.99 plus normal carrier SMS fees.

I hope Jamster loses, and their marketing staff burned at the stake.

Fuck I hate those commercials.

I hate those commercials, that fucking frog is goddamn stupid and ugly and the fucking ringtone is attrocious.

I want to beat people that use that ring tone with shoes, and the marketing/inventor need to be hung with their own intestines.

But I guess, that's just me.

As much as I loathe Jamster (and boy do I), if you are stupid enough to get one of those idiot ringtones you deserve everything that you get.

The Jamster commercials make me sick to my stomach. I hope they lose, just on principle.

Also, I've been dying to know: Are they just stealing some of those ringtones? That crazyfrog engine sound, plus the Hamster Dance; I just can't imagine a company so obviously shady would even bother trying to figure out who owns them and getting the rights to distribute them for profit.

There needs to be some device that allows you to block Jamster commercials from your television.

Maybe they could include it with that infamous Fox News filter. While were at it, add in all the reality show too. That would sell like hotcake
