Why teenagers rock

One reason is that sometimes, their sense of irony is hilarious.

VIDEO – The Red Dawn alert system’s tune has in recent days become a hit among youths in the rocket-stricken town of Sderot.

The tune, perhaps being used in a humorous way to deal with the tense situation, has been turned into a mobile phone ringtone.

Yehuda Peretz, a Reuters photographer in the south, is the person behind the ringtone. He recorded the sound of the siren and managed to turn it into a ringtone on his mobile phone.

“I didn’t think it would become this popular. Now mainly teenagers are asking me for the ringtone and I decided to give them the opportunity to download it. Many have already downloaded it to their mobile phones,” he said.

Some of their parents may not like it, but this is a perfect example of why I get such a kick out of teenagers. They have a perfect grip on how to give a one-finger salute in any situation.
