No more Lipa Schmeltzer ringtones on your cellphone
In a new piece of legislation proposed by Councilman David Yassky, personal cellphone ringtones will be outlawed in New York City. Yassky's proposition calls for the City sanctioning four ringtones that all New Yorker's will share. The proposed legislation, which is intended to curb noise pollution, will levy hefty fines against anyone that uses a different ringtone.

I am the communications director for the council member, and it indeed was an April Fools joke. Please see the New York Daily News or NPR on the 2nd, or call me at 718 875 5200 x14 for confirmation.
