May 4th 2006 at 12:59 pm in OK I just read this hilarious insane of an initiative to make lots of money.
Telfort, one of the many local mobile communications companies in the Netherlands, together with Radio 538 radio station, are organising this stupid championship.
Wow.
See, the whole idea here is that, somebody on the radio, reads out loud a Dutch sentence, and the first person to have sent this to the text-shortcode will receive the most points. At the end of the run, the winner with the fastest responses will have won.
Of course, none of these idiots realise that cheating is pretty easily done. And neither do they care: they’re are basically only interested to be able to send you billed messages back every time you have attempted to play.
So, if you really really really want to play — you might want to win, right?
I present to you:
How To Cheat And Win The Dutch Texting Championship
One thing: you have to be a fast regular typist. The fun thing is you will definitely be done quicker using a plain QWERTY-keyboard.
Catch my drift? Yes indeed: once you connect your mobile to your laptop or personal computer, and install the software that you can probably download from the vendors’ website, you will be able to type messages on your computer pretty fast. A hell of a lot faster than anyone with a mobile phone with an irritating T9 text-completion solution which, in those important cases, always seem to suggest the wrong words.
Anyways — of course the organisers of this championship wouldn’t really give a fuck how they receive the text-messages. Hell, here in Holland, the response message can cost you between 0 to 130 Eurocents. Believe me, they won’t do this shit for free.
They don’t mind that 150 people may be cheating using a PC.
They only want to send out as much text-messages as they can. (The championship itself runs from the 8th to the 19th of May — that’ll give you an impression how these money hungry wolves have set this shit up.)
Honestly, one shouldn’t even play these text-’games’ and quizes — they are frauds in 9 out of 10 cases anyways.
Fact that it will be impossible for the system to distinguish between a keyboard-typed message or one typed using the keypad on the mobile.
So this championship is all bullshit. Don’t let these suckers sucker you into taking part — they’re really only out for your money and if you win, you’ll be forgotten tomorrow.
