Sending People With Annoying Ringtones Into Space
from the if-only-it-were-permanent dept
Apparently a company selling ringtones is offering a contest to send a lucky annoying ringtone user into space. Of course, some of us think anyone having an annoying ringtone deserves to be sent into space permanently. Tragically, these folks will be brought back. It's actually a "reward" for buying ringtones. Like we need to encourage these people? Anyway, the article is a little unclear concerning exactly how the winner will be sent into space. All it says is after undergoing astronaut training they'll be sent 62 miles abvoe the earth where they'll experience five minutes of weightlessness.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
