Humour has an ambiguity that I am interested in. Ringtones are now becoming like haircuts, we associate the ringtone with the socio-political position of that person. Though I like it when you see that big scary looking guy on the train essentially emasculated when his phone rings. Suddenly he becomes a big teddy bear.
