Cowboy nakedly selling ringtone
 Looks like pop musicians and rapping cartoons aren’t the only ones selling novelty ringtones anymore. A decidedly unorthodox performer has been given the opportunity to strum his way into a few hearts and annoy the hell out of the rest of us. I’m talking, of course, about the Naked Cowboy. CNET News reports that "Chicken Soup Makes Me Poop," one of his songs, “is being made into a ringtone by Acotel Group, an Italian Web portal.” Fox 5 News mentioned that the ringtone was priced at $2. For more on the Naked Cowboy, including his lengthy, self-written manifesto, which consists mainly of him irritating various police departments, visit his Web site or just find him in Times Square. If nothing else, he’s striking back at musical stagnation, marketing timidity and pants.

I've seen this guy in Times Square. I find his presence strangely captivating and reassuring.
