<div class="IPBDescription">This company sooo needs to die.</div> <a href='http://www.jamster.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.jamster.com/</a>

I don't know how many of you have seen the commercials...but if you've seen one you've seen 500,000.
What the hell is with the media blitz for this garbage!?

I'm sitting here watching Comedy Central and I have seen exactly 72 of these commercials in less then 4 hours! 3-4 every god damn break!
Of course the other 2 commercials in the break are from their god damn rival company with the freaking dancing hippo and that cursed little yellow bird thing.

I don't know how many idiots are buying these things but this flipping company has money to burn on airtime! I wish I could send a flipping bomb to 355 55!

Anyway I needed to rant about that...anyone else annoyed by this garbage?

I should also mention I don't own a cell phone and personally dislike the devices.

    Wouldn't it be funny if there were enough people dumb enough to spend money on these things that they could actually support a business and buy cable advertising time?

    As I type this there is a flipping jamster commercial on!

    This is the kind of thing that makes me wish for the apocalypse...someone do a Bible Code search for jamster see what comes up. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Edit: I found an online petition, it's cute but I'm thinking this company can only go down with violence.

    Looking around there’s a lot of hatred for jamster, as there should be, we need to band together and arm ourselves, find out where these sons of bitchs are located.

    I think Coriolis puts it best:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Where the hell did you come from? Two weeks ago, I'd never even heard of your **** website. Then you launched your advertising blitzkrieg and now I'm listening to your **** ringtones twice during each commercial set, regardless of channel, and my ears are like two Polish peasants being brutally assraped by Nazi stormtroopers. How can there be enough damn money in ringtones and backgrounds to fund this brutal onslaught? I've never even heard of you before! I feel like an Amazonian living deep in the rain forest, who never even knew there was a world beyond the 20 square miles of forest I'd seen, and now all of a sudden there's a missionary in every hut shouting godpsam. Go away! I don't care about my cell phone so much that I spend hours tracking down the perfect screensaver and wallpaper and ringtone and theme, and anyone who sees their cellphone as anything more than a tool should be neutered. I keep my cellphone in my glovebox in case I break down somewhere, not so I can stay eternally tethered to every mouth-breathing friend who called me because he was bored. If my cellphone rang, I probably wouldn't even know it was mine. **** you and your worthless product. The Jamster Happy Plan? How about the Coriolis "Stab you in the flipping Kidney" Plan? I hate you, I hate your customers, and if I ever hear someone with that *********** frog as their ringtone, I'm going to build a radiation gun and follow them around shooting them in the genitals with it for a week.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Well here’s some info I found about this bane:

    Jamster! (http://www.jamster.com) is one of the companies showing the largest growth in the "mobile Internet" sector in Europe. Jamster! is 100% owned by Versign. As one of the leading portals for the mobile Internet in Germany, the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands, our goal is to open up the mobile Internet to every mobile phone user. Jamster! develops mobile entertainment and information content and services for the new generation of mobile end devices (GPRS, MMS and UMTS), and has won numerous awards for innovation from the leading European telecommunication publications. Jamster! has already gained over 5,000,000 customers and employs 250 people at its Head Office in Berlin. Jamster! works with the biggest telecommunication firms and the leading TV stations in Europe.

    So...we need some people in Germany to take that thing out...any of you guys notice a City 17 like citadel being built in Berlin?

    Have you checked to see if your soul is there? Because it's not. You forfeited it when you got that ringtone.

    Also, why not just send Nemesis Zero down there? He could LOCKZOR the offices up, so they couldn't get in to work!

    Well has anyone considered how long this is going to last?

    Is this some fad that we'll all be laughing at next year...or will we be unable to laugh because Jamster commercials have replaced TV programs and our brains have turned to mush?

    This is America...can't be too long until <i>someone</i> sues them.

    Good thing all the 'TV' I watch is filtered from commercials when I download the 1-3 shows a week remotely worth watching(that won't ever be available over here, because if even by the off chance that they come here in YEARS I will just miss them, drowned out in a sea of retarded reality shows, commercials and soaps...)
