American Cliche #128
Happy New Year to everyone. It was nice taking a week off from the show around Christmas, but now I’m back - ready to take on 2008. This week’s show is an eclectic mix of lying little girls, motorcycle shenanigans, bumbling burglars, and the daunting world of baby names.
Here are the details:
* Girl Lies About Father’s Death in Iraq to Get Hannah Montana Tickets
* Beware of the Masturbating Motorcyclist
* Mighty Minute
* Changing Your Baby’s Name?
* Burglar Hits Wrong House

Well i saw the video(on yahoo) about that six year old girl that won those Hannah Montana concert tickets and her mother acutally wrote it wow and the company gave up those tickets to another girl.
I just had to check that out after i heard it on your show really wow to go that far for concert tickets? Buy the DVD ~

Mal,
Thanks for the update. I’m glad the company did the right thing and disqualified the original winner.
Shame on the mom too…

Was writing a fictional story against the contest rules, or was it a “why I should be given these tickets” kind of essay?
I guess it comes down to if this was a writing contest or a bunch of kids asking for charity and giving reasons why they deserve it.
It won’t be surprising if this winds up in court.

My guess is that writing a fictional story was OK. When a 6 year old writes a story about a big white unicorn, we know it’s fiction. When they start a story off with “My dad died in Iraq this year” I think it was assumed that it was a little girl being truthful.
Probably not an issue legally - the company can do whatever they want - it’s their contest. However, morally, lying like that shouldn’t be rewarded.

^ (your welcome btw : D!)Yea they investigated the mother did a WHOLE back ground check on her and on that video i saw some guy from CNN (i dunno he was old) Anyway he asked her about her husband and she said she didnt want to “talk about it” and didnt want the camera’s in her face.
Its kinda sad that the Little girl had to go through that , all she probalay wanted was those tickets and well that is one way to get them ,unfortunatly.
Still like you said scott it was morally wrong(the mother actually wrote it surprise surprise!)
I love your show by the way !

Yeah… I’ll reserve my viewpoint on the lightness of the Patriot’s schedule this year… it truly is an accomplishment so my hat is off. I just wish the AP didn’t give “Bella-cheat” coach of the year honors. Anyway, something tells me our teams may meet again… this time I won’t have a party to watch the game and jinx the whole damn thing. : o )
And as far as baby names go, I kind of agree with you, but kind of not, because people do that same little “Huh.” no matter if the kid is born yet or not.
Hannah Montana girl: I hope she REALLY doesn’t have a dad in Iraq, because karma can be quite the nasty bitch sometimes.

“Lightness?” - like Indy’s was more difficult? I sense a bit of bitterness that Peyton’s single season passing record fell and that Brady stepped into Manning’s spotlight. Can we all say M-V-P? By the way, is there anything that shill Peyton won’t endorse?
As for Belichick, 29 of 50 voted him coach of the year - hardly a nail-biter of a win. Are you gonna be like those Raiders fans that 10 years later continue to shout “tuck rule” every time the Patriots beat you?
Good to hear from you Jason. We do miss you.
