8-Year Old AC/DC Fan Cries Foul Over Contest Screw-Up

July 23, 2009

Bruce DeMara of TheStar.com reports: Josh Bowman doesn't want to come across as a "problem child" but his bid to win a contest as AC/DC's biggest fan has become a "highway to hell."

The 8-year-old from Niagara Falls was one of three finalists chosen nationwide to compete in an online contest to become the "Ultimate AC/DC Fan." The contest is sponsored by Bell/MSN Sympatico.

When voting began on July 8, Josh quickly took the lead and within two days had a 20 per cent lead over his nearest competitor.

With voting set to end at midnight on Sunday, Josh now trails fellow competitor Dale Cutler by 18 points. A third competitor is far behind at 2 per cent.
