I'm always amazed at the lenghts that some people will go to, in order to get something. I came across this story.


GARLAND, Texas - A North Texas mother made up a tragic story about a father dying in Iraq for an essay contest to win a Hannah Montana prize package.

"My daddy died this year in Iraq," the little girl wrote in the essay. "I am going to give mommy the Angel pendant that daddy put on mommy when she was having me. I had it in my jewelry box since that day. I love my mommy."
Ceballos told contest organizers her husband was killed April 17, 2007, while serving in Iraq.

Whats worse, is what I saw this part:

"It was supposed to be told like a Christmas story, a good Christmas story, basically," she said. "And that's what she wrote, a Christmas story. But she didn't know it had to be true or anything."

Oh yes, I'm sure that your intentions were innocent and you really meant no harm.:rolleyes:
