YOUR 15 MINUTES: Hey Naomi, Ever Heard of This?!

Ever heard of the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship? It was held in Finland this weekend. I think I saw Naomi Campbell there.

Old phones were supplied for contestants who were allowed to pick which kind of phone they wanted to throw. So, does it make more sense to frisbee a Razor or to chuck an old clunker? Maybe the Chevy Suburban of cell phones, the Motorola V600.

The men's winner threw his phone 292 feet. The women's winner tossed her phone 167 feet, a new world record according to the organizers. She said she has tossed a cell phone a time or two before.

Another contestant said several things were needed to compete: technical skills,mild retardation power, and a sense of humor.
