So, let’s get this perfectly straight: some kid wins $50,000 (more than the average salary for many entry level to middle class jobs out there) because he’s basically the modern day version of the best hog caller or best auctioneer? Yeesh. Where the hot holy hell is all this money floating around that I can’t get for doing much harder work over a longer period of time? What good is being the fastest texter in rel life unless someone has you rolled up in a rug and is about to toss you into the trunk of a car or you’re hidden in a closet as a burglar is poking through your sock drawer? Hell, give ME that 50K, LG and I’ll put it into this site so I can get more done daily than this kid got done during his few minutes of fame.

Oh well, at least he’s smart enough to be socking away his winnings for his college fund and not boozing it up or buying a car he’ll wreck while boozed up. That said, memo to LG: at this point, he’s a ringer (no pun intended). He’s won this prize more than once, which should disqualify him from future contests, which is only fair. Then again, as this is a yearly thing, I’m sure the next tiny button tapping whiz is pecking away (and raising his or her parent’s data plan bills in the process). $50,000… for texting? Holy crap, do we live in some messed up times or what? Stupid question number two: What does the second place winner get? If it’s nothing, then something’s really wrong there.
