No thanks, I’ll just use my digital camera

Remember when I mentioned yesterday about the world record attempt in Toronto with Mel B (Scary Spice) and Virgin Mobile to have the most mobile phones go off at the same time? Well I was hunting around today trying to find out if they succeeded in their attempt (sorry, no luck finding it yet) but I did however find this photo.

In case you haven’t caught on, here’s the irony. This is an event put on by VIRGIN MOBILE to break a world record to have the most MOBILE PHONES ring at the same time.

AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE HAS A DIGITAL CAMERA.

*Falls over*

There isn’t one camera phone in sight. Like not one. Even Mel B doesn’t have one in her hand. These people must have them somewhere, the whole point of the exercise was to get your phone to ring at noon. There must have been phones on their persons, but every single one of those people thought “ooh I’ll have to bring my digital camera along to get a picture of her”

Jeez louise.

  • 558 seems like a number limited by the amount of people they could get to turn up… I think we could do better :)
