New World Record For Mobile Phone Chucking
from the time-to-consolidate-competitions dept
It appears that mobile phone throwing contests are showing up everywhere. Sooner or later we're going to need to consolidate the various contests and have national committees and drug scandals and such like any good sporting event. However, in addition to similar contests we've spoken about in Ukraine and the UK comes news of a similar contest in a non-"Uk" place: Finland - where you can bet they're tossing Nokia phones. In fact, they're throwing Nokias so well that they've officially set a new world record for mobile phone chucking: approximately 219 feet (66.72 meters for those among you who prefer things in nice understandable metric units).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
