People can personalization their phones to reflect just about anything these days, but Airborne has found a new market — activists. From the release: “This collection of hard-hitting, socially-relevant, environmentally concerned and politically-attuned ringtones, ringbacks and wallpapers represent a new, street-smart force in social, political and environmental activism.”
Sample “Protestones” include “Hell no, we won’t go!” and “Viva La Revolution!” while “Stop and Thinktones” include “Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger” and “Nearly one in four people live on less than $1
per day.” Having something like that repeat so often sounds to me like a good way for it to lose its meaning…
The ringbacks could be better idea, since you’re sending a message to other people.
Airborne will give 10% of revenues to a charity each month…
