ATLANTA (AP) - Imagine -- ten-grand for doing nothing. A lot of
couples can't, either. So far, there are no takers for a contest
that would pay $10,000 to an engaged couple as long as they don't
do "it" before marriage. The deadline for the Marriage for a
Lifetime contest is Oct. 31st. Organizer Phillippia Faust admits
it's tough these days to find a couple practicing abstinence. Along
with the cash, the winners would get free flowers, invitations and
other wedding treats. Faust runs an Atlanta-based, nonprofit
marriage prep and education program called MATURE.

How do they go about determining whether or not the couple “did it”? What constitutes “it”? For example, if you did the things Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski did, would that disqualify you? What about “the exit”, would that count?

Wow. Pay people to be good. Pay people to obey God. Amazing. Pay people not to sin. Sickening. Very sickening. What the heck is wrong with this country? This is one of the stupidest stories I have seen in almost 10 minutes. Pitiful society has come to where this nonsense is new worthy.
