Call of the Wild

According to Wired magazine, a UK company called Classic Ringtones will be launching here in the U.S. late next month. They will be offering 40 different chirps, roars and calls from various animals that you can set as your ringtone, instead of some annoying song…though I’m not entirely convinced that a lion’s roar would be less annoying than some bubblegum pop music. However, on the plus side, the company will donate 10 percent of each sale to environmental and nature advocacy groups. Maybe I will set my phone to bark, just to freak out my dog.
