6-year-old boy is floating away

My wife and I decided this morning that with their mutual lust for reality TV, Rod Blagojevich and Balloon Dad should have a show together. It would be called "Weenie and Heene."

 

The only "real" moment in this entire saga. Kind of cute, too.

Well, at least he didn't ask "Who the f*ck is Wolf?"

 

Your name is Falcon, kid. Who are you to question someone named Wolf?

 

Or threaten to kick him in the nuts.

 

tremendous! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

years from now, the kids will be interviewing some young snot who'll wonder: "who the eff is falcon?"

 

Only good thing about that is clicking through that guy's YouTube channel and finding Lisa Hannigan.

 

Just heard this and haven't seen it posted on here:

"I'm glad they found Balloon Boy. I was afraid Michael Jackson was ordering takeout in Heaven."

And now the mother is admitting it was a hoax they had planned two weeks earlier.

 

I figured as much after the Wife Swap episode. When it came time to go back to Fort Collins, she tried to claim a 5 and 10 clause.
Honestly, using your kids for something like this? Despicable.

 

I wonder how much of this goes back to the husband being a manipulative, abusive jackass, and the wife just rolling with it. I found it *very* interesting that they already have separate lawyers.

 

And by the wife "rolling with it," I mean that she may have done this out of fear. See the 911 hangup earlier this year.
