A Cautionary Tale

(click here to read the entire story) A former KVI-AM, Seattle promotions coordinator was charged Tuesday with first-degree theft for allegedly rigging a radio contest to pocket some of the winnings, and 14 others allegedly involved in the scam were charged with second-degree theft.

Yes, it's illegal. Of course, it's illegal. But, worse, do you want to see your name (and probably your face too) on TV, on competing radio stations, in the papers?


There's a word for this: S-T-U-P-I-D. Enough stupid to go around, from the top down.

How many former jocks remember contests being manipulated to add to the drama, or mislead listeners about the chance to win prizes that did not exist? It may be more common than anyone is willing to admit. These instances may go back many years.
