Foam finger inventor: Miley's not No. 1 - Fox News

foxnews.com - When a 16-year-old Steve Chmelar created the original "No. 1 hand" as a way to support his high school basketball team at the Iowa state championships in 1971, he never expected to see one used in quite the way Miley Cyrus did at the MTV Video Music Awards.But Chmelar, now a 59-year-old VP of commercial sales at a construction supply company, says he's gotten attention, nonetheless, since the 20-year-old pop star's salacious antics shined a new light on his creation, which can be found these days in most any stadium or arena in the country in the form of a foam finger.
