You can finally breathe again. Electronics manufacturer LG has crowned the first ever National Texting Champion.
Little 13-Year-old Morgan "Fast Thumbs" Pozgar successfully and accurately typed the message, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocios! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious." in a mere 42 seconds to take the title.
Teenagers from around the country competed in text messaging tournaments in order to win a spot in the final championship round held in New York city yesterday.
Pozgar is from a small town in Pennsylvania and sends an astounding 4,000 text messages a month. By the time she had been announced as the winner of the competition, she had already texted all her friends to let them know she had won, texted them again to tell them that she had won $25,000 and then texted them again to let them know that her current mood was "chipper."
Her mother, who supported through her quest to become America's Next Top Texter, says she's very proud of her daughter, but also mad that she's sent over 45,000 messages to the New Kids on the Block Texting Hotline, at $.50 a pop.

I hope that last bit was a joke.
A> There shouldn't be a "New Kids on The Block" anything, anymore. Especially that a modern teenager would care about.
and
B> That's $22,500.00 in charges, and I would kill my child, if they did such a thing.

Yeah, if that last part is true, then her $25,000 cash prize just barely covers her expenses. After taxes, it doesn't.

If the mom is "mad" about the $22,500 in text messages and not "completely fucking ripshit", the girl is probably some fucking spoiled little trustfund cunt and she just won $25,000 that some other kid actually needed and deserved much more than her.

Very clever tactic by phone companies to encourage texting...
And woser that's pretty fast, I text as fast as my little sister types very slowly, and vice versa.

Who gives a flying fuck? There's no "who can achieve orgasm faster" competition, so why should there be one about texting.

It's not about speed, it's about quality... see how that differs from texting!

You're just mad because if there was a competition for that you'd win every year.

Any 13 year old girl who's mom bought her a cell phone and allows 4000 texts a month at 10 cents a pop (I can't find anywhere that'll give me unlimited texts since I do it a lot) doesn't deserve the fucking money. Her mom doesn't deserve a fucking child, either.

Sprint offers unlimited texting for an extra $5.00 a month. I don't have it, since I am lucky to send 4 text messages in a billing cycle.

I used to have unlimited texting with my cell... a 6 month promotion that was FREE than like $5/month after that... I hate texting so I cancelled after the free period.
