A radio station in Calgary, south-west Canada gave their listeners the choice between burning C$5,000 in cash or raffling the money as a prize for one lucky listener. AMP Radio the station behind the idea to burn money called their plan, Bank it or Burn it and asked their listeners to vote via social media. After all the votes were counted, #BURN received more than 54% of the vote so the C$5,000 was incinerated at a local crematorium. 2 The Calgary radio station insists the money was burnt and that this idea is not just a stupid stunt to attract new listeners. One of the DJs who thought of the money burning idea, Katie Summers explained the reason why AMP Radio burnt the money. The C$5,000 is a fraction of what could be spent on marketing and advertising costs for any normal company Miss Summers explained. She added that she understood the burning of the money might not be popular with everyone, but the radio station was just following what their listeners had voted for. 3 However, the reaction in Calgary and around the world has been mostly very, very negative. Using social media the response was overwhelmingly critical of the decision to burn the money. One person tweeted to AMP Radio, Wow, AMP Radio burned $5000?
