Balloon Boy Family gets OWNED

[Metaltastic]

I dunno how many people heard about this, but today there was this span of a few hours where the BREAKING NEWS TOP STORY OMG LOL was this massive balloon some dude had built that was loose and flying at like 30+ mph - and they thought the dude's 6-year-old son was on board. So everyone was going nuts and I admit I was a bit concerned watching the live feed of this thing roaring through the air - though I did find it suspect that it would still be up after all that time with the weight of a 6-year-old in it, and get a load of this corroborating evidence:



And here's the second part, where he gets confronted, squirms, and then takes on the classically obvious "aggressive defensive" stance



I have to admit though, I wince every time they say "Falcon," because I realize that it's the kid that has a name that retarded

And I just watched the first vid again, and when that "We did this for the show" scene kicks in, it's awkward/hysterical enough for the fact that it's the embarrassment factor with the line and the dad saying what sounds like a sighed "...man", but is that a wet fart right after?

I didnt know WTF this story was at all... I caught it in reverse.

I went to see Broken Lizard do some comedy tonight and they made fun of the kid a bit... but I thought it was just a bit... when they talked about the boy in the balloon... then I come home and on Scott Ian's facebook he talked about balloon boy TOO so I was like WTF? Then I googled that shit and heard about it after the kid was found. Lulz.

Stupids.

 

[Metaltastic]

Well yeah, not only that the kid was "found", but watch the vids

 

[joelplagues]

ahahaha this is awesome.

I wish we had more coverage in australia cause I was hoping someone would raise the point that no one had any idea where their child was.

shows how great of parents they are.

 

[ahjteam]

after watching the second video, I don't wonder anymore why the guy named his son FALCON.

does the woman have a speech disorder? I mean she is asian yes, but she can't say a "D". Kinda like the guy in South Park who couldn't say "T" and worked at a planearium

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yeah I watched this today. Holly fucking retarded batman, where is the facepalm when you need it.

Kid should be beat for hiding in the attic that long.

Hahaha, this really made me LOL this morning as well. Diane Sawyer (vomit) interviewed the family this morning and I too winced whenever she said his name.

[Jevil]

Is he Larry King?

speaking of vomit, they were interviewed on the Today Show this morning and falcon ralphed while they were interviewing the father. It was so awkward because the camera zoomed in on him and then moved over to the father.

This is bullshit and doesn't need to be talked about any further.

ps: the mom is a milf.

[SentencedToBurn]

this is the kind of shit thats mentioned when vh1 does a "hey remember --this particular year--". so in a few years when they do the 2009 edition, they will talk about the balloon boy.

 

[kaomao]

lol!
I saw this yesterday on bbc news, it was the moment when they caught the balloon lol
What a bunch of assholes, look at the kid, is always moving he can't be quite! he should be beaten to death ! lol

 

[iekobrid]

The family was recording video when the balloon took off, and it seems like it was unexpected because the dad starts swearing and kicking shit (which gave off an instant "this dude is a prick who shouldn't raise kids" sort of vibe).

And so the story ends...
