Description / Terms

Here's the scoop:

A FLORIDA-BASED rock band that has promised that an unidentified terminally ill person will suicide on stage during an October concert is fighting a legal battle to have the show go on.

Yesterday the St Petersburg City Council passed an emergency ordinance that makes suicide for commercial or entertainment purposes illegal, as a way of countering the rock band Hell on Earth's promise to show an onstage suicide during an October 4, 2003 concert in the city.

Precisely where the concert will be is uncertain.

The State Theatre in St Petersburg was the scheduled venue for the concert, but the theatre has cancelled the performance.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS BUT IT SURE GOT THE GROUP A LOT OF PUBLICITY. I BET THAT THE SHOW STILL GOES ON OCTOBER 4 BUT THE GOVERNMENT PREVENTS THEM ALLOWING A SUICIDE TO TAKE PLACE.

This bet is CLOSED.
You can't bet against it,
but you can post comments.

I'm not sure who wins this bet. The group still performed in an undisclosed location, but apparently w/o regard for the courts ruling.
