Crazy
Those millions won't last a lot longer than the frog me recons.
The three brothers who coined millions from the Crazy Frog phenomenon have followed Microsoft in taking a stake in Facebook. Mark Zuckerburg with Crazy Frog hat "Crazy" Mark Zuckerberg.

What I would be bothered by was if every time I went to message someone on FBook and hadn't turned my speakers off I would be subjected to some noise intended to somehow part me with my hard earned pennies.

Grr.
A business model involving advertising on a website is doomed. Firefox with AdBlock and AdBlock Filterset.G Updater removes advertising from websites automatically and it stays up to date automatically. The number of people blocking adverts is surely only going to increase. Yes its always been possible to block ads but now it's so easy. Biting the hand that feeds the bitten hand that feeds IT.
