I'm not entirely sure why this particular 'challenge' got as much media coverage as it did. These kinds of contests go on pretty regularly, but this is the first time I've ever seen the media make such a big deal out of it. And, sure enough, it amounted to...pretty much nothing. ;)

The media just loves to try whipping everybody into a frenzy when they rarely have any idea what they're talking about.:bonk: :bonk:
