$10,000 No-Sex Contest Has, Surprise, No Takers

From Feministing via Dkos:

The contest is sponsored by the Marriage Appreciation Training Uplifting Relationship Education (MATURE) project in Georgia, a federally-funded abstinence program. The group is set to receive $455,510 a year until 2011; the money for the contest was to come from those funds. In an economic crisis, it's pretty awesome to see our federal dollars being so entirely wasted.

Obama has said he'll audit the federal budget with the intention of axing programs that don't work. Let's start here and let the Christianists cry as loud and long as they like.
