LG Electronics Canada held the finals for the 2009 LG Canadian Texting Championship at Yonge-Dundas Square on Monday June 29, 2009. The brought winners in from all over Canada and they had one spot from the competition going on in the Square - I tried but my time of 17 seconds wasn't enough to get me into the race. The prize was $25,000 in cash and prizes.
Billed as the World's Sexiest Comedian Nicole Arbour was the host of the event - although with that title she might have to fight Carla Collins.
Nicole and the media crowd around the first round players - 4 side by side players, all young, two guys, two girls. Each was called up to the stage and a large bank of monitors showed the contestants doing their best trash talk. Tori (girl at left) won the first round.
And here is a bonus shot of the pool at Nathan Phillips Square in the early morning looking at all the CD Canada Trust Jazz Festival tents.
