Raunchy mobile lowers tone

A MAN was lucky not to find himself facing contempt charges when his highly embarrassing mobile phone ring tone rang out loudly in a packed courtroom.

The decorum in the Ipswich Magistrate's call-over court was shattered as the sound of a woman experiencing heightened sexual pleasure rang out for between 10 to 20 seconds.

Numerous people sat in the public gallery, including several local lawyers, struggled to choke back laughter in Court 1 as acting magistrate Roger Stark tried to ignore the ring tone and attend to the case before him.

The message repeated a woman moaning: "Oh, yeah ... yeah ... oh, yeah ... do it to me."

A man seated in the public gallery could be seen try to unsuccessfully turn off his phone as he also attempted to hide his obvious embarrassment.

Less than an hour earlier, prosecutor Constable Jo Little had warned people seated in the public gallery to ensure their mobile telephones were switched off or risk having them confiscated by the presiding magistrate.

Most, if not all, Queensland courts have clear, obvious signage near the front of every courtroom informing people to ensure their phones are switched off.

Several magistrates have also adopted the practice of confiscating mobile phones that ring in court, while many others publicly chastise people who fail to turn them off.

While Mr Stark chose to take no action against the man, he could have held him to in contempt of court.

The man could have also found himself charged with causing a public nuisance -- which carries a maximum sentence of six month's jail.

Wish I could find the article in England where some guy was read a guilty verdict, he ran over to someone and grabbed their phone, flipped it open, and yelled "Scotty beam me up, I'm in the shit!"

Are they sure it wasn't just a ringtone and not some guy watching porn on his cell?

Funny but why would you have that set as your default ring tone to begin with? I think the only place that a ring tone like that would be acceptable and not be embarrassing would be in the pr0n industry.

Reminds me of a time in HS when I was in my room listening to White Zombie's "More Human Than Human". Right about the time in the song that the girl starts moaning my mom came in to ask me something. She was less than amused.

Yeah, I use the default ring tones.

I can see maybe he uses ring tones so that he knows who's calling him. So maybe it was his ex wife or something?

Theres an absurdly funny video of someone doing that to a laptop, they changed the windows startup noise to animal porn and turned the volume all the way up. So funny when the poor guy opens it up in a library surrounded by other students and it starts going "oh yeeahh oh yeaah" and then you hear goat noises and stuff :shocked:!!!!

When I was called for Jury Duty selection we were not allowed to bring any electronics into the courthouse, including cellphones, pagers, game devices, cameras, etc.

A couple of semesters ago, my roommate used my laptop to watch some porn. when he got done, he closed the lid. the next day was the first day of classes. i opened up my laptop to a full-screen full-audio mid-climax porn. i have never been so humbled in my life. it was impossible to convince my peers that i wasn't a perv. i was called the "porno guy" for the rest of the semester.
