[BC] Rumor of DESPICABLE conte st?

[Bernie Courtney]

Having "Death Pools" are fairly common, at least in my circles of friends and colleagues, though this is the first time I know of that anybody has tried one on the air.

A group of people each pick dates they think a certain public figure will leave us, when they expire the person who is closest gets awarded points.  At the end of the year the person with the most points gets the 'pot'.  Double points are awarded in 'bonus months' like Fatal February, or Deadly December.

This really isn't anything new these guys were doing.

I just got an e-mail from a friend, asking if I knew anything about a
*Despicable* contest in Detroit that ended up being cancelled...
apparently, the
prize was $1K to whomever could guess the date that Britney Spears
would commit
suicide.

Has "morning radio" really sunk *that* low???? God, help us.

Willie...
