The Most Annoying Game in History
That obnoxious "crazy frog" you've seen on those ringtone commercials is getting his own videogames... what's the world coming to?

Some corporate decisions we'll never understand. Today might be one those. Digital Jesters, a recently-founded UK publisher, has gleefully announced that it was snatched the rights from Wallaroo Licensing Company to turned Crazy Frog, the boisterous, motorcycle-riding creature from those ringtone commercials (better known as "The Annoying Thing"), to turn this "mascot" into a videogame franchise. The first game under these rights is an arcade-style racer known as Crazy Frog Racer, and it's coming to PlayStation 2. No, we're not lying.
"Given the competition, we're obviously proud to have secured this deal, which will offer Digital Jesters exciting opportunities from Christmas onwards," admits Leo Zullo, marketing director and co-founder, Digital Jesters. "We've continually hinted that big things were just around the corner at Digital Jesters, and they don't get much bigger than this."
Expect this "big thing" to arrive in form of Crazy Frog Racer in Europe this November, and quite possibly wash up in the states in Q1 2006. Cover your ears, kids - this could get ugly.
