Balloon Boy: “We Did This For The Show”
Falcon Heene and his family went on Larry King Live to explain what happened with the empty balloon that obsessed the entire world for about 5 hours this afternoon. It kind of almost sounds like Falcon said something he maybe shouldn't have.

I like the fact that the adults in this situation pass all the excuses on to the children. You know everyone heard what he said, and then to make up for the calling out, it's the old “what did he say? i can't hear him.” The father's a class act obviously: 'Well now, when we tell our son that he's a real idiot he tends to cowl down and be all whimpy. It's the darndest thing.”

The whole thing is a fraud. They filmed themselves when the balloon went off and the dad is such a horrible actor, pretending to be angry that the kid is in the balloon.

If I could punch anyone on Earth, it would be Glenn Beck. But besides him, and Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, George Bush, Dick Cheney and the Pope, it would be Wolf Blitzer.

Please, Jon and Kate + Eight just got canceled. No more fucking shows about fucking families, okay, balloon people? We cared when we thought your kid might have fallen to his death from a balloon accidentally. He didn't? Good, go back to anonymity like ANY SANE FAMILY. Fuck.

My “opinionated, self important try hard” detector reacts every time the dad speaks.

I was out all day and missed this kid who was in a balloon who wasn't in the balloon? It looks like that wasn't the best part. The best part was watching his parents squirm when they got busted. Ye-ouch!
