DVD Jon at it again

OK it is an article about somebody cracking the DRM protection of iTunes downloaded music but the above statement floored me.

FFS it is a phone, is the world really so vain/insecure/at a loss as to what to spend their cash on, that we need to spend $75bn on fucking ringtones?

I guess this amazed me as I pretty much find all ringtones to be extremely annoying.
