Dot Commers Offer Madonna Tickets For Sex
from the this-can't-be-a-good-trend... dept
Talk about your bizarre publicity stunts. A German online magazine is offering a free ticket to a Madonna concert to a reader who will have sex with one of their reporters. Readers have to write in with pictures of themselves, which reporter they want to sleep with, and an explanation of why they want to have sex with that reporter. They go to great lengths to explain why this isn't illegal - since it's all voluntary, and there are (apparently) no laws against prostitution in Germany. Just so you know, we will not be having these sorts of contests here at Techdirt.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
