Cupid occasionally misses his mark, so a local radio station is running a Valentine's Day contest offering a free divorce. "Everyone associates Valentine's Day with love, and diamonds, chocolate, roses. But what about those people that hate it. This is for those people," said Scott Petibone, program director at WKRL-FM, a progressive rock station heard in Syracuse and Utica.

The station, known as K-Rock, began promoting its divorce-giveaway Monday. By Thursday, the station received over 100 entries, Petibone said. A winner will be selected on Valentine's Day.

Although some contestants are offering explicit explanations of why they want a divorce, Petibone said none is necessary. However, the divorce must be uncontested

In Syracuse, some clergy called the contest tasteless. "A divorce is a death, the death of a dream," said the Rev. Joseph Champlin, rector at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. "You wouldn't make a joke out of someone who died, would you?"

A dead baby in a clown costume!

A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published. After
the editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50
cents a word, she pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then,
let it read 'Fred Brown died'."

Confounded at the woman's thrift, the editor stammers that there
is a 7-word minimum for all obituaries. The woman pauses again,
counts on her fingers and replies, "In that case, 'Fred Brown
died: 1983 Pick-up for sale'."

"You wouldn't make a joke out of someone who died, would you?"

Any other questions?

3. A divorce can be two things

A death of a dream, and the birth of a new one.

Still tasteless though, but it is but another tiny speck of sand in our media wasteland.
