A Fatwa Against Ringtones
By Bob Benson
Not everyone likes and some have found to be downright annoying. Recently, a Muslim cleric issued a fatwa (edict) against especially after a cell phone rang during a service. While users of a cell phone are not likely to be beheaded, at least here in the west, have a way of getting out in the most unlikely of places. Read on for a funny look at how have interrupted life.
During a recent Ivy League graduation ceremony, one student’s cell phone blared, “By the River Danube” while the commencement speaker spoke. Not missing a step, the speaker – a noted federal judge – turned and faced the music, smiled, and thanked the student for the terrific background melody.
A YouTube type video several months ago showed a bereaved family gathered around the coffin of a dear relative. Why this event was being filmed in the first place is another story, but while the mourners were standing a muffled “Flashdance” could be heard coming from inside someone’s purse!
Usual interruptions are not as dramatic but they can be embarrassing to the recipient who may not always want their
favorite love song blared all over the mall. This can be especially odd if a young man finds himself with someone other than his girlfriend, a young lady who may not be too impressed by the lust song she is hearing.
Short of muting the phone or turning it to vibrate altogether, a cell phone user may want to consider some areas of etiquette when selecting songs for downloading including:
If the song is too raunchy and you wouldn’t normally want to be associated with that type of music, why download it in the first place?
If a song is popular, but you cannot stand it then why download it in the first place? It may be your friend’s favorite tune, but maybe a Snoop Doggy ringtone isn’t your cup of tea.
In any public place, please do give consideration to other people. You may be hanging with friends at the mall, but you’ll only invite a crackdown by store owners if you abuse mall policy.
Yes, a fatwa is a dramatic decision, but one that is understandable in this techno crazy world that we now live in. Download your favorite ringtones, but keep it all under your control before someone decides to control it for you.
