Sassiest Boy in America
In 1990 Sassy magazine conducted a search for the Sassiest Boy in America. Over 150 entries were received with the eventual winner being Ian Svenonius. In the story highlighting his selection Pratt states He's going to be a big deal. I'm sure he will be and we're going to be so proud that we were the first ones to discover him. However, it was discovered that Svenonius wasn't a "boy" at all, but rather lied about his age as he was 22 at the time of his selection – too old per contest rules. He was however allowed to retain his title.

Famous quotes containing the words boy and/or america:
“Mother love has been much maligned. An over mothered boy may go through life expecting each new woman to love him the way his mother did. Her love may make any other love seem inadequate. But an unloved boy would be even more likely to idealize love. I don’t think it’s possible for a mother or father to love a child too much.
”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
