At least if Wikipedia is to be believed, and when has Wikipedia been factually incorrect about something?

Apparently Mobile Phone Throwing has been around since 2000, when it started in Finland, where the World Championship is held each year. Other than the phone having to be over 220 grams, the rules are pretty self explanatory. You just chuck your cell phone as far as you can, and the one who gets it furthest is the winner.

The traditional 4 categories to compete in is Original, a best out of three over the shoulder toss; Freestyle, where God help us how creatively you can throw a cell phone comes into play; Team traditional, where three people's combined scores determine a winner, and an under 12 division.

Mobile Phone Throwing competitions are often associated with a charity drive, such as getting people to recycling cell phones, but I think the real charity is indulging these yahoos who feel like throwing cell phones in their free time.
