a story that shows whats wrong with these times
From http://www.clickondetroit.com
GARLAND, Texas -- The organizers of a Hannah Montana ticket giveaway said they are considering taking the tickets away from the 6-year-old Texas girl who won.
The girl had submitted an essay that began: "My daddy died this year in Iraq."
But Club Libby Lu, the Chicago-based store which sponsored the contest, said the girl's mother has admitted that the story was a lie.
The saga began with company officials surprising the girl at a Club Libby Lu store at a mall in suburban Dallas. The girl won a makeover that included a Hannah Montana wig, as well as the grand prize: airfare for four to Albany, N.Y., and four tickets to the sold-out Hannah Montana concert on Jan. 9.
The mother had told company officials that the girl's father died in a roadside bombing in April. But the Pentagon had no record of the soldier she identified.
"We did the essay and that's what we did to win," Priscilla Ceballos, the mother, said. "We did whatever we could do to win."
The CEO of Club Libby Lu said the company is reviewing the matter.
NOW..... Here is my 2cents
WTF!!! Reviewing? No f-in way should they get the tickets! If the mother can't go to jail for fraud then she shuold be sued for the cost of the contest and she her child what it meens to lie. It makes me sick how people seem to have lost their values and I hope that this compiany will make an example of her to keep the Disny name clean.
