Man sends 80,000 text messages to protest rate hike

A New Zealand with apparently no job and no life managed to tap out over 80,000 text messages from his cellphone last month (an average of 2,580 a day) to protest his cellphone carrier's decision to start charging extra for sending more than 1,000 messages a month. You'd think he'd just send harrassing text message after harrassing text message to the cell carrier, but instead he decided to make his friends (of which he probably has few left) suffer by repeatedly sending them the message "Hi. How are you?" over and over and over again.
