Hey there, is there anyone out there that actually took a snap shot or archived the Subway essay contest website? The one that banned homeschool children from entering. http://www.subwayfreshbuzz.com/kids/cont… This morning, after being online since Janunary, they corrected the words: Untied States, to United States and Gift Bastket to Gift Basket. I did get to save the Bastket misspelling as a gif, but they had already United the Untied States. So if anyone has this page saved please let me know where to find it online. 10 points to the person who finds it first:-)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the contest and then read.... "NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. Contest is open only to legal residents of the Untied (sic) States who are currently over the age of 18 and have children who attend elementary, private or parochial schools that serve grades PreK-6. No home schools will be accepted. " http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/05/subway_bans_homeschooled_kids.html I can not find an actual image of the site that has the spelling mistakes, (UNTIED and BASTKET) but the site above has the direct quote. They have obviously fixed it now. However, with approx. 3 million homeschoolers they have really offended many! I suppose Subway just doesn't want our business.... I guess it really doesn't matter because this essay contest was promoting fitness. And as I search my brain through the 400+ homeschoolers in our local group, not one of them is obese! NOT ONE! Just like with your running shoes; United we stand....Untied we fall!
