It's equally as annoying. I zap the channel over as soon as that ad comes on. There's enough of these f**cking annoying jingles on phones on buses and in the street without having them rammed into my home.
Generally though, an ad break on ITV 1 is long enough to put the kettle on, nip to the loo, put the washing on, fill the dishwasher - and still get back just in time for part 2 of Corrie! I've got it all timed perfectly!

What's the opinion on here about Sweety the Chick? More or less annoying than Crazy Frog?

I hate the ad but I won't ditch ITV1. I don't think ITV like it either, imagine the guys in network control who hear it every few seconds on every region. I know Paul O' Grady said he was sick of it too yesterday. Basically, if Jamster hand over the money, ITV broadcasts it, otherwise, how would they get the money they need.

A popular ringtone track is set to
scoop the top spot in the UK singles chart
, on course to beat Coldplay's comeback to number one on Sunday.
The Crazy Frog's Axel F is currently outselling the Brit-winning band's new single Speed of Sound, according to early retail reports.
HMV said the Crazy Frog was now almost certain to top the new chart.
Coldplay recently became the third UK band to have a new entry in the US Top 10 singles chart with Speed of Sound.
They had been tipped to take the UK number one slot with their first single for two years.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said Crazy Frog would be the first hit ringtone to cross over into the singles charts in this way.
He said: "Music purists might not be too happy at the prospect of the Crazy Frog outselling Coldplay.
"But it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise when you consider its huge novelty appeal and the massive amount of exposure its currently getting.
'Ironic appeal'
"Kids obviously find it cute and cool, but students and even office workers seem to be drawn to its rather kitsch, ironic appeal.
"The only real issue is whether the record label can press enough copies to keep up with the huge demand that we're seeing right now."
The profile of the Crazy Frog mobile phone ringtone has been raised in recent months through heavy television advertising.
It is a new version of the Beverly Hills Cop movie theme tune by Harold Faltermeyer, which reached number two in the UK 20 years ago.

Although the intensity of the Crazy Frog advertising appears now to have been toned down. On ITV at least.
If only the firework safety PIFs had this amount of airplay each year (and drink-drive ads at Christmas for that matter).
