More Ringtone Troubles

Yesterday I had the story on the removal of a politically incorrect ringtone from Cingular's downloadable catalog, and today there's another ringtone story in the news - this time from Iraq (from Special Report):

The Iraqi parliament shut down briefly in only its second full day of business after a brawl broke out over a cell phone ring. The security detail for the parliament's Sunni speaker attacked Shiite legislator Ghufran al-Saidi's bodyguard on Monday after Saidi's phone repeatedly rang out a Shiite religious chant, interrupting the speaker's television interview nearby.

But when Saidi rose to complain on the parliament floor on Wednesday, the speaker ordered her microphone turned off, shut down all cameras and recessed the session leading some lawmakers to walk out in protest of what they called his brusque behavior.

I have to admit that hearing religious chants on somebody's phone (and I don't care what religion it is) would be more than annoying. I can't really blame them for getting upset.

Maybe they should all go with "The Simpsons" theme like I did.
