6-year-old boy is floating away

Again, I think you vastly overestimate the American TV viewer.

 

I don't know about you guys, but when I was six one of my favorite things to do was to go to the attic and fall asleep in a box.

 

I'd buy that it wasn't planned, except for the fact that they just happened to be taping the "takeoff," and when exactly was it supposed to be that the dad just "turned away for a minute" and the scamp was supposed to have gotten in?
Dad was sitting right next to the damned thing the whole time, and the kid would have had to have done one helluva ninja-like stage dive into the balloon when dad's attention was elsewhere ("Squirrel!")

 

I get the feeling from this group that they film themselves a lot. That wasn't a red flag for me.

Can't explain the kid thing, unless he thought that video would never get out. It wasn't him or his wife's tape that got out, it was someone behind them. So I'm guessing a neighbor ratted them out.

 

I'm calling him Barf Boy.
Watched the news conference with the cops, apparently they checked it out with a Colo. State professor who confirmed that the balloon could support the weight of the kid (who apparently is only 37 pounds!)

 

Helluva pull, bubs.

 

Leads us to our next question after the puke: Is he anorexic?

 

Sad to say, a crack about bulemia did come to mind when I read that he was only 37 pounds, but even I have limits.

Whoop whoop whoop ding ding ding. End of story.

Dad, please report to jail.

 

This guy is a real piece of work.

 

I, I, I don't know what to say. I crossed a limit on this board. I feel ashamed, yet somehow satisfied.


I'll go one better. When Falcon spewed chunks on the Today Show this morning, I couldn't help but think that they had given him some castor oil or something before the broadcast to divert attention.

 

Yeah, really, why did he call channel 9 first? They suck. Now, I'm with him if he had called Channel 4 first.
