The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 52, December 7, 2003, Article 29

BANK IT OR BURN IT

  Burning cash must be the latest fad.  A December 1st report
  noted: "A British radio station is under investigation after it
  burned 5,000 pounds ($8,600) rather than give it to charity
  -- or to a listener for her breast enlargement operation.

  Birmingham-based Galaxy radio torched the cash after listeners
  voted to burn it rather than give it to a competition winner ..."

  Galaxy ignored its appeals for the money to be given to charity.
  "There are some bloody good charities in Birmingham doing
  good work week in, week out," said the church spokesman.
  "There is quite a groundswell of resentment."
