As a child there are certain things that, in your youthful mind, you must have. For me, it ranged from starwars toys, transformers, a bike, etc. As i got older and my desire for things changed, there were certain legal aspects that i had to overcome to get what i wanted:
1. I wanted to see House Party, but didnt quite meet the age requirement, so i bought tickets to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and snuck into House Party.
2. I wanted to imbibe alcohol several years before reaching the legal drinking age of 21, so, while attending college, my friends and i would pay adults that hung around the convenience store, to get malt liquor, and fortified wine for us.
3. I have even....on occasion..not fastened my seat belt while riding in a car!!!!
"But Mr. Balogger...where is all this going????"
Here's why:
******************
GARLAND, TX -- A 6-year-old girl who won four tickets to a Hannah Montana concert with an essay that falsely claimed her father died in Iraq won't be going to the show after all.
******************
Priscilla Ceballos "assisted" her 6 year old daughter in writing an essay to win tickets to see Hannah Montanna, the teen sensation that has prepubescent girls all over the country going crazy.
The essay was written as part of a contest sponsored by Club Libby Lu, a store which specializes in fashion for young girls.
Priscilla's determination to win caused her to start off the essay with "My daddy died in Iraq this year" which won the contest for her....and caused her to lose it as well. They interviewed her on The Today Show. Matt Lauer asked her "How did you explain to your daughter that she wasnt going to the show". Ms Ceballos responded "I told her the letter was a lie and i have refused the tickets"
This woman wouldnt know the truth if it slapped her in the face with a blonde wig.
Priscilla Ceballos: Winner of the January Jackass Award
I realize that people would do any and everything to see a smile on their child's faces. I have done some ridiculous things for my kids...like paying $10 for 3min elephant ride (i wont go there), but when you have to use a sensitive subject as death of our troops in an unpopular war, you have wonder where she left her good judgement.
You have to wonder about the affect of this on the child. First off, her mother convinced her to write a series of lies in the hopes of seeing some whiny teenager who gained fame from Mr. Achy Breaky Heart. Then, miraculously she wins the contest, because people melt when it comes to the affects of war on children. And after all that excitement, her dreams are crushed when the lie is revealed. I really feel sorry for that little girl because she truly had no clue what was going on. All she knew was that she wanted to see Hannah.
I dont think this story is over. I can see some bleeding heart out there paying for just the daughter to go, because the sins of mother, should be paid for by the child.
...but i could be wrong
