德国电台办“写自己的墓志铭”竞赛
A German radio station is offering listeners the chance to win a check to cover the cost of their own funeral.More than 600 contestants have sent in their own headstone epitaph for the Radio Galaxy competition in Aschaffenburg.
Presenter Jens Pflueger defended the competition, saying it was aimed at breaking society's "taboo" about death.
"We wanted to raise awareness about this difficult topic among young people," he told the BBC, "We want people to send in their own epitaphs. If they send someone else's quote, that's OK, but for me that's not creative enough."
The prize is ￡2,500 ($4038) which has to be spent on death insurance to cover funeral expenses.
The Association of German Undertakers condemned the competition as "tasteless" and is suing Radio Galaxy in a bid to block the contest.
"This activity is not just impious and tasteless, it is also immoral as regards the law against unfair competition," it said.
德国一家广播电台举行一场竞赛，获胜者可以得到一张支票，用来支付他们的丧葬费。
在德国阿沙芬堡，600多名参赛者寄出了参赛作品—他们自己的墓志铭，希望赢取Galaxy电台的奖品。
电台主持人杰尼斯?普弗鲁伊格称，这个比赛时要打破社会对死亡的"禁忌"，让年轻人开始讨论这个问题。
他告诉英国广播电台，“我们想提高年轻人对死亡的意识，让他们直面这一人生难题。我们希望人们能寄来自己的墓志铭。当然，如果他们也可以引用其他人的墓志铭，但是，这样看起来就不够有创意。”
获胜者的奖品是面额2500英镑（4038美元）的支票，用来支付自己的丧葬费。
德国殡仪业联合会谴责这次活动“毫无品味”，并要起诉Galaxy电台，试图阻碍比赛的进行。
联合会称，“这次活动不虔诚、毫无品味。同时，它也有悖于公平竞争，是不道德的行为。” Who wrote the play of 非诚勿扰2 ，he surely can win the award :qq88] [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=336868&ptid=159469]2#[/url] [i]davy10[/i] [/b]
