Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

13 Year-Old Wins LG Championship

— April 23, 2007 — World
Morgan Pozgar, a 13-year-old, won LG's National Texting Championship after she defeated her West Coast competitor. The net prize is USD 25,000. With her little thumps, she successfully texted "Supercalifragilisticexpialidoucious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious" in just few seconds.
According to Pozgar's mom, the 13-year-old girl receives 8,000 - 10,000 messages per month.

To appeal to the young text-messaging population and promote their products, companies are initiating PR campaigns that are inspired by the modern love of texting and portable phones.
