Knoxville, TN - Most
would see it as a good thing. It was a fundraising contest that raised money to
help fight diabetes. Others may see it
as animal cruelty, because it ended with a pig being forced to accept a kiss
from a politician. However you view it,
the result of Knoxville’s first “Kiss-a-Pig” competition, which concluded
Monday afternoon, was this: People
shelled out more money to see Knoxville City Councilman Nick Della Volpe kiss a
pig than they did to see any of the six other political figures in the contest
do the honors. Here is how the contest
worked: From a field of seven candidates, people could cast as many votes as
they wanted for the politico they most wanted to see kiss the pig. Each vote
cost $1, and the money went to the American Diabetes Association. Clearly,
these men showed why Tennessee is called the Volunteer State.www.fundraising-ideas.org
