Why am I on the phone with P. Diddy?

This is a note to the select few of you out there who have decided that it is necessary to pay their cell phone provider $1.50 a month just so that all of your friends can hear the latest Panic at the Disco single when they try to call you: You are all idiots.
First of all, the audio quality over a cellular phone line is terrible. I can’t tell whether I’m listening to ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” or “Smack That” by Akon. And no offense to you, but your taste in music is awful. If I have to listen to “500 Miles” by the Proclaimers every time I call you, eventually, I’m going to stop calling you.
And does the cell phone company really need another $1.50 every month? At what point after paying $40 for a voice plan, $25 for a data plan, and $15 for unlimited texting and picture/video messaging, did another $1.50 sound like a necessary expenditure? Can you even do math? That’s $18 a year! For nothing! It doesn’t even cost the cell phone company a penny to implement!
So, you all do me a huge favor. Call your cellular provider and cancel that thing, “CallerTunes” or whatever it’s called. Everyone else will thank you.
