If you just can't get enough of the humbled Egyptian despot denying charges of murder and corruption, you can have it play whenever your significant other calls.
Hosni Mubarak's not guilty plea has been turned into a ringtone that's sweeping across Egypt. The few words uttered by the caged and bed-ridden former president at his murder and corruption trial have spawned at least two different ringtones, one that features the judge saying Mubarak's full name before the deposed president responds, “That's me, your honour,” and the other featuring Mubarak saying, “I categorically deny all the charges.” We give it another day, tops, before the photos of Mubarak behind bars are memed to death on Reddit, too. Mubarak is facing a potential death sentence if convicted of conspiring in the murders of some 850 protesters and pilfering billions of dollars from state coffers. He's being tried alongside his two sons, his interior minister, and a clutch of advisers, with the trial set to resume Aug. 15.
