    My favorite report on CNN was when they got the Washington correspondent to talk about NORAD's and NASA's involvement. ;D

    Seriously... Thank God the little fella is safe.

    Since the Malcom in the Middle mention earlier in the thread, I can't get a picture of Dewey out of my head.

    It's much easier to suck in gullible media if you have live video.

    So if you are the parents (assuming it's the kid who untied the balloon and hid and not a hoax), how long of a timeout does the 6-year-old get?

    No. The kid never would have crawled out.
     
  6. Arianna Huffington is on CNN bitching because they're still covering the story, 20 minutes after the kid was found.

    "He was found, the story is over, you need to get back to talking about the important issues!"

    I shit you not.

    The woman who was the second half of the TV wife swap told MSNBC that her first reaction when she heard about it was that it was a PR stunt. She backed off it when they started questioning her, but it sounds like this family is a little interesting to say the least. Wouldn't surprise me if it's true.

    Cry Falcon too often, and who will believe you?

    Actually, they could have gone to important issues while the balloon was in the air. This story is simply not important at all to 7.45497217 × 10 to the -10th percent of the world's population.
