Sears is currently holding a contest encouraging mothers to share their worst recession stories in the  hopes of winning "a $2500 Mommy Makeover Package."  The promotion is titled "Busted Moms."

Sears explains:

Has the ECONOMY left you feeling BUSTED?

Being a mom isn’t easy. Being a mom right now is even harder. Sears is here to help you out with a cool contest, great deals and random acts of kindness.Being a mom right now is even harder. Sears is here to help you out with a cool contest, great deals and random acts of kindness.

Let's see what urban dictionary has to say about being "busted":

1. busted

A way to describe a very ugly female, who can barely be described as female. A "busted" female is not even considered for Mercy Sex simply because they are so ugly.

Yo Jamal, I saw you with your chick at the movies, she so busted she couldn't even get a date with a convicted killer in jail for the past 50 years. Wanna go to KFC?

No. Just, no.
