Two contestants locked in a stalemate in a radio station contest have agreed to end it after more than seven months spent living 24/7 in the station’s giveaway truck parked inside a
local shopping mall. The Madison, Wisconsin radio station called an end to the contest after concerns over personal hygiene were expressed, and due to the pregnancy of one of the contestants.
Tommy Kempfer, 26, and Lisa Thompson, 40, spent over half a year living in the brand-new truck, competing to take home the prize valued at more than $30,000. But too much time together in such close quarters proved too much for the contestants’ primal urges, resulting in Lisa’s pregnancy.
“It was May, and all the other contestants except for Tommy and I had given up,” said a slightly embarrassed Thompson. “Just the two of us in there with nothing else to do, no spectators around, and well, nature just took its course late one evening. We spent many more nights rockin’ that truck.”
“Neither of us had taken a bath since we went in that truck back in April,” said Kempfer. “I know it was kinda gross and all, but one night I said to myself, ‘hey, I’d hit that MILF.’ And we kept hookin’ up after that. Just because we were competitors didn’t mean we couldn’t get a little action while were cooped up in there. Trying to make the best of the situation.”
By July, Lisa realized she was pregnant when she found herself sticking her head out the truck’s window to throw up almost every morning. “I thought to my self I might be giving birth in here if this thing doesn’t end,” said Thompson.
Radio station officials decided to end the contest after local health authorities expressed concern over the deteriorating sanitary conditions inside the giveaway truck. With no sign of either contestant backing down, the station offered each contestant a wad of cash, coupons for free pizza, a year’s worth of oil changes, and a crib and baby clothes for Thompson.
As for the truck, the station is trying to find a buyer. “We’ll have to knock a few thousand off, since the thing smells like a dumpster inside,” said Mike Marquez, WMAD-FM station manager. “Maybe next year we’ll give away a motorcycle instead.”
