Last but not least: George's relentless fight against high gasoline prices
Gas prices keep going up and up—and there’s no end in sight to this price spiral. Thank goodness for Radio Regenbogen: The German station wants to save drivers from financial ruin and is paying their gas bills.
Like every car driver, it makes him break out in a sweat when he has to watch the price of gas at the filling station continue to rise to dizzying heights, says George Zampounidis, presenter of the station's morning show. "That's why we decided without further ado: Enough is enough, we have to do something about it!" No sooner said than done. To have George pay your fuel bill, you simply have to send in your fuel receipt by fax, e-mail or post, and of course have a bit of luck - every hour, George and his fellow presenters draw receipts from the lottery pot and pass on the names of the drivers who have been fleeced. If the owner of the receipt gets in touch within the next half hour, George pays for the gas. Whether this really does anything to combat the high fuel prices remains highly questionable. But the listeners will certainly be pleased. Nice campaign, Radio Regenbogen - and even if it doesn't make the world a better place, it certainly brings in a few more listeners.
