Brand new low

[excerpt from the Globe and Mail]

This week, The Fan 590, Canada's leading sports radio station, offered
a "Give Dad a Divorce" contest as a Father's Day promotion. "It's the
perfect gift for the man who has everything, and doesn't want it,"
reads the cheeky copy posted on the station's website.

Have we as a society really sunk this low? Read the full article here.

Sadly, The Fan, tried to defend this promotion:

"I don't think we are trivializing [divorce]," says Ruth Winker,
promotions manager of The Fan 590. "We're accepting of it. It's a
reality."

Making a mockery (even if it's meant to be tongue and cheek) of something that rips families apart?? No... nothing trivial in that at all!! (heavy sarcasm).
