This is South Park style lunacy.

I never understand this, outside of taking a bunch of pictures when you claim the prize, you go back home and can ignore the media, not like this is going to be an ongoing weeks long story for them to cover. Also I have zero problem telling my 3rd cousin twice removed to take a flying leap if they come out the the woodwork, is it that hard for people?
