A Valentine's Day promotion by an Auckland-based radio station to spring a divorce on an unsuspecting spouse has been slammed as "cowardly and disrespectful" by a relationship counselling organisation.
The Rock hosts Robert Taylor and Jono Pryor - who are also behind the aggravating Wind Up Your Wife stunts on the Drive show - are offering to "lend a helping hand" to a not-so-in-love couple on what is meant to be the most romantic day of the year.
The MediaWorks-owned station will pay for the divorce provided there are no children involved and the person being dropped only learns their relationship is over live on air.
I got excited there for a minute - until i read the last eight words of the entry conditions.
Excitement and subsequent disappointment aside - what kind of person would enter this competition under those conditions? I mean who would stoop to humiliating their husband or wife - someone that they promised to love forever - by telling them that their marriage is over on air via a competition!?!
That is just cold, callous, and evil. It kind of reminds me of that ridiculous Temptation Island reality show that was on a few years back where married couples got a free holiday on a tropical island. The catch was - it was full of hot people that were going to constantly attempt to have an affair with your beloved.
I refused to watch that - and i will refuse to listen to this.
Not that The Rock will care - i never listen to them anyway.
I have taste.
Sometimes.
The world has gone mad.
PS. I will be happy to take the free divorce in the event that no one enters!
