Not that anybody particularly cares, but this came to my attention when watching the CNN interview with Balloon Boys family, and I had to search youtube to see if I was correct.

I mean it was clogging up the news all day and then he says in the interview from what I could hear...

"You said we could do this for a show."

Exclusive CNN!

I'm so glad I slept through the dumb media frenzy over this.

Think about this; think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are stupider than that.

Kids a little douche, making everyone get in a big fuss over him and thinking hes dead, then it turns out he hid in the house. His parents could have had a damn heart attack.

Are you seriously saying you find no part of that to be hilarious?

I find it funny, but annoying. The parents were dumb to automatically assume he was on the balloon. For the love of god, don't go off having your spasm before you know the facts.

I love how the dad tries to change the subject when the reporter asked him to repeat what the child had said. Busted.

Oh I thought it was funny. I laughed when I heared where he was because I called it the second I heared of the balloon landing and he was missing. I still think the kids a little d-bag though.

The truth is his parents are shameless fame whores. That's why they were on Wife Swap earlier this year.

From what I've heard, one of Falcon's brothers told their father that he's actually on the balloon.

Ya thats what happened. He got scared and made something up. Falcon then didn't want to come out because it turned into such a big thing and he didn't want to get in trouble.

Amen to that, but I was only adding that the parents reaction wasn't completely stupid.

Since the kid is still alive and well, then that's all that matters to me.

Sad thing is, this was the only thing my Chemistry teacher was paying attention to during the entire period. His face was glued to the TV screen.

I'm expecting various news networks to be swarming with videos of this this tomorrow morning...

It's obvious the dad beats the kid - that's why he hides and doesn't respond.
