'Shut up Chavez' ringtone sells half a million
About half a million Spaniads have downloaded a ringtone of King Juan Carlos telling Hugo Chavez to shut up.
The tone features the phrase "Por que no te callas?" or "Why don't you shut up?", which was what the king said to Venezuelan President Chavaz during a summit in Chile last month.Newspaper El Pais says the ringtone is thought to have generated around $2.2 million. T-shirts and mugs featuring the words are also selling well.
The spat last week began when Chavez repeatedly called former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist."
