I can imagine it now:
Virgin: "Hello, we'd like to sponsor a challenge, so we can get some great ideas for a new campaign - a bit of viral marketing, that sort of thing."
Rob: "You realise it will be a tirade of abuse, against Virgin as a company, and Sir Richard as an individual don't you? With badly drawn cocks, bad taste humour, and very possibly penguins raping the Soham murder victims?"
Virgin: "Haha! Yeah, whatever. You crazy internets! Let's ROCK!"
Rob: "Erm, OK, if you insist".
Ten minutes later...
Virgin: "Holy Mother of God, have you seen this?"
*auto dials lawyers*

doesn't pulling the challenge get them more publicity than tolerating it? Perhaps this was their plan all along...

OK, so a company called Virgin issue a challenge to B3ta (which, lets face it, is a site obssessed with "naughty" jokes, cocks, goatse and kittens), and then is surprised at the kind of response that they get?

This is great. Maybe you should do this again. I hear that Murdoch's sniffing around the anarchic internet area. Let's make sure every multi-national conglomerate owning megalomaniac treats B3TA with kid gloves. Then when you get offered fifty squillion squillion pounds for your *brand* you can become multi-national conglomerate owning megalomaniacs yourselves.
