 There is outrage in Canada after a radio station burnt 5,000 Canadian dollars ($4,472, £2,710) in cash as part of a contest for listeners, it seems.

AMP Radio in Calgary dubbed the contest the "ultimate social experiment", CBC News reports. But it has received complaints from people saying the money should have gone to a good cause.

It is now holding another contest, which invites listeners to choose whether a further 10,000 Canadian dollars should be banked or burnt.

A stupid promo but they got very cheap world wide advertising out of it!

Bizarrely it's only an offence to destroy coins in Canada...
