BALLOON BOY WAS IN THE GARAGE

Attic!
Quick! Give the Balloon Boy his own teevee show! Book deal! 24-hour news coverage for a week.
Yep, I’m still falling for stupid publicity stunts. How about you, SLOG world? Something about the fact that the first thing Dad did was to call a TV station, asking if their helecopter could track the baloon… something about that should have been a tip off.
Cue the outrage at the parents, asking them for refund of public money spent on the rescue operation in 10 minutes.
He is soo grounded.
(get it? get it?)
Stupid hippie dad is behind this
I’m so glad I decided not to give a shit about this little fuck from the very beginning.
Who is balloon boy? Is that the same thing as bubble boy?
hippie dad?
Sweet. My state rules.
It’s all the fault of those damned extraterrestrials, obviously.
Hahaha, oh man.
THE GARAGE!
This reminds me of 12 monkeys…
Have you seen Balloon Boy’s Wife Swap music video “Not Pussified”? What a bunch of douche bag heathen children…

Ahh. Figured. I hope the state charges them for all the resources.
quote of the day from msnbc.com:
“The boy’s family, who earlier this year appeared in a reality television show about wife-swapping, had been building a helium-balloon craft that was kept tethered in the backyard of their home.”
Called it. The boy’s body would have been evident as an outline in the bottom of the non-rigid, Mylar balloon. And it wasn’t big enough to lift him in the first place. And he would have died of asphyxiation in a helium-filled balloon. And the father should have known all of this, or he’s the worst armature scientist in the world. Despite all of this, one of the first things he did was call channel 9 to get their copter out to “help” get his boy down. Again, if it’s not a publicity hoax, he’s the stupidest scientist ever.
This wife swap kid (bacon boy) could teach that wife swap kid (balloon boy) a thing or two about running away from home.
wolf blitzer just asked the boy falcon on larry king live, why didn’t you come out of the garage when you heard them calling you? he replied timidly, “i did it for the show.” then dad starts a douchebag crying routene. this is as fake as shit comes. sure hope it doesn’t knock capt. lou albano’s death off the front page.
This family has a level of dysfunction (and craziness on the part of the father) comparable to that in Mosquito Coast. I have a very very bad feeling about where things are headed.
I bet South Park is going to have a field day with this. I’m now thinking that will be the most that will come of this strange event… ?
Just more sick reality “star” narcissism (as in real mental illness). I say make them pay for the rescue.
OMG @21 you are RIGHT!! i hadn’t even thought of that. Please give us a heads-up if you hear anything, because it WILL be amazing.
