Wow-Need Contestents for Win a Wife Competition

0 comments
The Rock FM in New Zealand is offering listeners the chance to 'win a wife'A RADIO competition, in which the winner will fly to the Ukraine and be given the chance to pick a bride from an agency, sparked outrage in New Zealand today. The winner of the contest - launched by MediaWork's station The Rock, which is broadcast nationwide - will also get 12 nights' accommodation and $NZ2000 ($1,521) spending money.
On its website the company acknowledges that some people will get "their panties in a twist over this one" - and they have, with social activist Sue Bradford saying the contest "takes 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.The promotion began on Monday and ends on February 28, with five finalists to be subjected to character assessment from friends and family, and psychometric testing and suitability for marriage testing by a psychologist appointed by MediaWorks.The prize does not include travel for the Ukraine woman to come to New Zealand.
The Rock program director, Brad King told the New Zealand Press Association (NZPA) 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.

They are especially common in cosmetics shops or health stores, which almost always have a ladyboy shop assistant.

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN, Calif. — A Southern California family is trying to get over the shock of a would-be weekend dinner guest: a mountain lion that broke through the back door of their rural home apparently in pursuit of a cat. David Robarts of Palomar Mountain, about 60 miles northeast of San Diego, told the North County Times that the mountain lion briefly scared him and his wife, Nancy, and son, Nathan, before escaping.No one was injured during the brief encounter, said the recently retired state park maintenance worker.The cougar burst through an unlatched glass patio door at around 10:40 p.m. Sunday, Robarts told the Times. He and his wife were in the living room and his son was upstairs, he said."I just jumped off the couch and started yelling at the top of my lungs," he told the Times.His wife, a fifth-grade teacher who was sitting a few feet away grading papers, also started screaming, he said.
Barking dogs and jail

ROME - If you live in Italy and if the barking of your dogs keeps the neighbours up at night, it’s you who might wind up caged — in a jail cell.The top appeals court sentenced four people in Sicily to two months in jail because they refused to keep their 10 dogs quiet at night despite complaints from neighbours who had repeatedly picked a bone with the owners over lost sleep.The four were also ordered to pay court charges and a fine of 500 euros ($684) each.

Wow-World’s Most Polite robber who was arrested after saying sorry (Video)

He repeatedly called the owner ‘sir’, said he appreciated the loot and promised to return it if he could.
The 65-year-old did brandish a handgun during the heist at a petrol station but was mindful enough to say ‘please’ when he made the request for the till contents.After buying a cup of coffee at the shop in Seattle, Washington, CCTV footage captured Hess discreetly producing his handgun and asking owner John Henry: ‘Could you do me a favour – could you empty that till for me, please?’When Mr Henry asked what was going on, he added: ‘I’m robbing you, sir.’ The owner then asked Hess if he was sure he wanted to rob him and asked him why he was doing it.‘Because I need the money,’ Hess answered apologetically. ‘I have kids that need to be fed, sir. I’m really sorry to have to do this.’When Mr Henry offered him $40 (£25) Hess declined and asked for all the money in the till – about $300. Before Hess took his leave he added: ‘Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. And I’m sorry. And if I ever get back on my feet again, sir, I’ll bring it back.’Afterwards, Mr Henry said he had been robbed several times but had never felt sorry for the criminal until now.Hess was arrested on Monday. It remains to be seen whether a judge will be as forgiving as Mr Henry...
