'Win a Wife' contest sparks outrage
Is this bad taste or just a contest where the winner actually WINS !
A New Zealand radio station has been criticised for running a contest giving male listeners the chance to win a wife.
The winner of The Rock FM's competition will be flown to Ukraine for 12 nights to pick their future wife from a bride agency.
"If you're interested in holy matrimony with a potentially hot foreign chick, fill it out to the best of your abilities."
Not to be put off by the complaints, numerous men have entered the competition and appear happy to have their profiles shown on the radio's website.
Defending the station, The Rock FM program director, Brad King, said the competition was "a bit of a laugh".
"At the end of the day, it's up to both people if they decide to get married and return to New Zealand. We're not actually marrying anyone or bringing women back to New Zealand," he said.
However, social activist Sue Bradford said the competition took "commercial radio to new depths".
"It is unusual and somewhat disturbing that a commercial entity would commercialise what should be one of the most meaningful human relationships and actually offer it as a prize for a radio show," she said.
Its not like key changes..lol.
Will they bear the life long costs?
Rule 1..
Thou shalt not covet thine neighbour's wife..
so, the simple answer is NO!
just stick to peeking through the curtains for now..
QBS radio doesn't have something like this :(
lol WK ..
Can I win my neighbour's wife??
She is hot enough for me.
True..
here you "sweep" her off her feet and then she takes you to the "cleaners" :O(
You get more than that after a divorce Brit ;)
They are getting a good response..
remember that you get 2000 dollars spending money as well...
They would probably get a bigger response if they were offering a free divorce.
what s the number of that station :D hehehe
and the station will shoulder all the expenses? The procedures exist now (with all the matrimonial sites all over the internet). I think it's more on the free travel and get a foreign wife (if agreed), unless it's a "forced" union!
ANyway, the details are not given, do you have the link, Brit?
The focus is on matrimony with a hot chick .....
And there seem to be lots of lonely men out there..
Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire flashbacks anyone?
or the free travel and the chance to find a wife?
But what I like in this is the line "most meaningful human relationship". AT least a lot still believes in it! Lol!
