This one is probably for UK Downers: in long-running BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers, the villagers are running a Lent Appeal where they have to pay a fine if they are negative about something. Linda Snell has agreed to read her husband's favorite book, the Silmarillion, and then pays £20 into the fund for the privilege of complaining about how awful it is, which she then does, for about five minutes solid. Quite funny if you are familiar with the characters involved:
