So this week the media in Calgary is up in arms over a new contest that Amp radio in Calgary is having. They are giving away a 10,000 breast augmentation prize to one lucky winner. The media has portrayed it as a contest that is sexist, disgusting and disturbing. In actual fact it is a prize that several people will want to win and they will enter it and will listen to Amp in order to see if they get the "big" prize.
I personally don't care what radio stations give away as a prize in any contest, if it is something I want to win, I will listen to try and win it. If it is something that has no interest for me then I probably won't listen but for sure I will not enter the contest.
I will never look down on someone that enters a contest that I don't like because they obviously want to win that item or they wouldn't enter it and if you are one of the people that complain about contests on a radio station I think you probably need to find more things to do with your life because in all honesty it is not going to affect your life so you shouldn't care one way or another.
Just my two cents on this whole thing.

What if we all had Riders?
The other day I was reading a couple riders from singers as to what they needed in their dressing rooms in order to perform at concerts and it got me thinking. What if everyone had a rider that was had delivered before you would do any work? What would different professions riders look like? Is there one thing that you had to have in order to do your job and if you didn't have it would you refuse to go do it?
Sample Rider for your IT Professional
Must have bowl of candy to snack on while working
Must have a case of coke, Pepsi or Jolt Cola chilled
Must have one large pizza if job will take more than 4 hours
Computer keyboard and mouse must be clean
No magnets or post it notes stuck anywhere on the computer or monitor
Need detailed description of what you did (I didn't do anything is not the correct answer)
Need all admin passwords for the computer and network
Once IT Professional shows up user must leave the office and not talk to said professional until he/she initiates conversation to say the job is done or is asking for more information.
What you put in your rider?
