In a move that will surely result in half of unemployed degree-holders in the U.S. invest in a gun, one bullet and a lot of Windex, LG hosted its annual Texting Championships, handing $50,000 to a 15 year old girl from Iowa. As the story goes:
This year's champ, 15-year-old Kate Moore of Des Moines, Iowa, took the title, but her path to victory was not without some serious obstacles. Literally.
LG, in a nod to texters' dangerous tendency to multi-task, forced contestants to run an obstacle course while sending difficult-to-type messages, and compose tongue twisters while being taunted by a giant emoticon. We can't make this stuff up. The event climaxed in a tie-breaker, with Moore and runner up Dynda Morgan, a 14-year-old from Savannah, Georgia, furiously texting this behemoth SMS:
"Zippity Dooo Dahh Zippity Ayy...MY oh MY, what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine Comin' my way....Zippitty Do Dah Zippity Aay! WondeRful Feeling Wonderful day!"
Moore beat her younger competitor to the "send" button, and walked away with $50,000 for her troubles -- and a life-long excuse for not putting down her phone during dinner.
I can only imagine that after this girl is done blowing $50,000 on Twilight underwear from Target and High School Musical 3 ringtones, she will only have to look forward to every boy in school begging for an HJ. Who cares if she looks like Kelly Clarkson's fatter little sister, magic fingers are magic fingers.
