What your ring tone says about you

Jim Farber, writer for The New York Daily News plays the "you are your ringtone" game with some innovative categories.

"In analyzing the nation's most popular ringtones, I found that the overwhelming majority fall into rigidly focused categories that, taken together, convey a stunningly narrow message.

While the overarching message conveyed by these tones is that of a, shall we say, healthy ego, the specific identities implied by the ringtones can be broken down into six focused categories:

-- 'I'M SEXY!'

-- 'I LIKE TO GET HIGH

-- 'I'M HORNY!'

-- 'I'M STUCK IN THE PAST AND PROUD OF IT'

-- 'I'M BAD AND/OR COOL'

-- 'I'M A ROCK STAR'
