You know, the mother is a calculating bitch.

BUT, I feel sorry for a six-year-old who thought she won something only to have it taken away because her mom is a dumb fuck.

As far as I am concerned, the company sponsoring the contest is just covering its ass for its own stupidity. The essay was either 1) NOT the best one, but they gave it to her just because of the political angle or 2) was the best one they received and she won it fair and square.

They should have done their homework to make sure they were giving the prize to someone who had a true essay if they were so concerned about the validity of the essay. They are at fault, too.

They should not have to check out the stories. But, we all know there are lying sacks of shit in this world.

And, although the spirit of the contest might have been broken, the rules were not. She won. Maybe under a veil of impropriety... But, she won according to the rules.

Like I said, I feel sorry for the little girl who thought she had won this contest. She only did what she was told by her mom. But, in the end, she's the one paying for this.
