These stupid contests are promoted by industry and only exist for advertising purposes. The contests were mentioned on the radio every hour on the hour like it was news. But when someone choked to death in one of the contests, I never heard about it on the news. I heard about it on a late-night radio talk-show.
I agree.......stupid contest. But it was reported on the news, including the AP, ABC, CBS, Fox and a number of newspapers.
