I WOULD like to highlight nonsensical contests organised by radio and TV stations.

The latest is one organised by Mix FM called “Break for a Break”. It requires listeners to register and tell them what they are willing to break in order to win a holiday.

The “winner” will then have to destroy the item in front of representatives from the station before collecting his or her prize.

TV stations are no better. Late night tele-games are siphoning obscene amounts of money from viewers.

Such contests and games offer no positive value. Action should be taken.
