From engadget.com:

Admit it, even though you know it’s totally bogus and totally crass, you’ve been dying to actually hear what that breast-englarging ringtone they’ve been selling in Japan sounds like, right?

If you can’t be bothered to download it (or don’t want to take the risk of the ringtone actually having its advertised effect), we can tell you it sounds mainly like Yngwie Malmsteen playing a guitar solo, which for some reason makes perfect sense. Now if you’ll excuse us, we’ve been blasting this all morning and must now run out to get our first training bras. Download the ringtone
