Texas Girl Not Elected Prom Queen Despite Roadside Billboard

Many Internet commenters have taken Tammy Day to task for putting up a pink, rotating billboard in Killeen, Texas, that shows the smiling face of her 18-year-old daughter and reads, "Vote Brandy Day for Prom Queen!" Brandy, who suffers from mild cerebral palsy, has incurred the added pain of teasing from her Harker Heights High School classmates (big surprise), and she failed to reach the final round in the prom-queen vote. Mom explains: "I look at it like it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make memories … and I wanted her to have the best moment possible during her last school year."
