It’s not everybody that can return from work and brag about how he or she interrupted a presidential speech with a stupid quack quack ringtone. That’s what a White House reporter did while Barack Obama was talking about gay rights. We can’t help but wonder why that phone wasn’t muted but we also have to admire the way the President responded to it. It’s not every day that we see a government official act that way when interrupted. So how about you? How stupid is your ringtone?

AT&T’s sure thankful music lovers are also mobile phone fanatics because 2007 turns out to be a good year for the AT&T ringtones. The company has recently released the list of the top ten best-selling ringtones of 2007.
