Jersey School Holds Contest to Find Baby Who Looks Like Springsteen


This has to be the most Jersey thing that’s ever happened in the world. An “early childhood academy” (see: fancy preschool) in Freehold is holding a contest to find a kid who’s a dead ringer for Bruce Springsteen. Children up to six years old can enter the contest, where they’ll be asked to don a Springsteen costume and do their best impression of The Boss. The winner gets $500 for his or her piggy bank and a free month of childcare at The Learning Experience, and bragging rights(?) for life. Seriously, if you win a Springsteen look-alike contest as a baby, it will follow you for the rest of your life. People don’t forget. Apparently 20 kids have already signed up. And, if this kid has registered, they might as well cut him a check now. [Philly.com]
