Boy Stuck In Balloon

Re: Boy Stuck In Balloon

That's the greatest gaffe in television history. :) Thank you, Falcon.

The parents will now take Jon and Kate's place.

From the mouths of babes even. Gotta love the beauty of kids.
I loved how the dad tried to cover it up..."when we're at the store and he wants to buy candy, I have to tell him no, and he's usually behind the other boys." :D
 
Re: Boy Stuck In Balloon

Might have been posted, but I'm not reading back (from "textsfromlastnight"):

(917): half the nation just spent an hour watching a balloon fly around. we are officially the dumbest *ing country.
 
Doesn't the kid say, "it was a show" or something like that when his dad asked, "why didn't you come out when we called your name?"? Alsmost sounded like the dad was in on it from the beginning from that reply but it's hard to tell exactly what the kid said.

So the world's most dysfunctional family is also a bunch of attention whores. Lovely. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Boy Stuck In Balloon

I hope the state and/or feds send the family a nice fat bill for all of the money wasted on this stunt.

This went all the way through Bill Wasik's nanostory arc in less than 5 hours. New league record.

I was thinking the same thing. Good thing there's a wasn't a copter crash during the rescue, but who knows whether somebody who needed help was denied it.

Presumably there is a law against knowingly fabricating an emergency situation?

Yesterday would have probably been an easy day to rob stores in Colorado with all the law enforcement elsewhere.

In some states they have "false reporting" laws. However, in this case, it seems like the parents are/were complete morons on a number of levels. I wonder what the cost/hour for a helicopter would be ... Maybe they should go to "the Chair" just for being on some reality TV show. :eek: :D
