The following story is extracted from the Metro Digest section. I thought it'd make a good addition to the 'Honorable Mentions' list.

Contestants 'forced to sit on dry ice'
A radio station is to be prosecuted after running a competition in which contestants had to sit on dry ice - leaving some with permanent scars. Three women and a man suffered severe frostbite following the Coolest Seats In Town contest, the Health and Safety Executive said yesterday. Three of them remained in hospital for up to ten weeks after sitting on solid carbon dioxide, which has a temperature of -78C. They suffered a serious loss of skin, fat and muscle, with a permanent and disfiguring area of tissue loss, the HSE added. Birmingham radio station BRMB was charged with breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act.

I think they should be congratulated - what better a way to remove utter stupidity from the human gene pool than voluntary sterilisation. Submitted on 01/15/2003
