...then you shoulda put a ring on it...
As it turns out, the phrase “if you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it” has nothing whatsoever to do with showing your affection for your mobile phone by downloading custom ring-tones.

Please Help The Invisible Children
I know there’s a serious issue here. Click that link and fuck off if you are easily offended.
