How about a free Valentine's Day divorce?

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a Syracuse radio station is giving away a free divorce.
K-Rock (100.9) started the contest Monday on its program "That Damn Morning Show" and received about 50 entries by Wednesday afternoon, Program Director Scott Petibone said.
"Most of the reasons we're getting are pretty vicious," said Petibone, who said the station's listeners tend to be in their 20s and 30s.
The station is working with lawyer Brad S. Margolis, who has offices in Fayetteville, Utica and Watertown. A divorce without custody issues, where both husband and wife want to split and agree on how to divide their assets, costs at least $1,390 - about $1,000 in legal fees and $390 in state filing costs.
If the contest strikes you as tasteless, the rector at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception agrees.
"A divorce is a death, the death of a dream," the Rev. Joseph Champlin said. "You wouldn't make a joke out of someone who died, would you?"
