The Culture of Shock strikes again dept

How in the media do you get peoples' attention these days?
Seems like you have to push the envelope, find new ways to shock people.
Case in point: a radio station near Detroit had a contest going: guess when Britney Spears would kill herself, having lost custody of her three children.

So appropriate.
Today sanity, along with the tiny bit of good taste that a few people have preserved, finally re-asserted itself (a bit tardily) and the contest was ended.
