its not even good trolling and they dont even look good while theyre doing it. im just biting the hook to make sure the hundreds of onlookers understand the seriousness of parents putting their own children in danger.

You know... all being retarded aside... I actually agree with you in this case. There is no reason to include your three young children with you in potentially life threatening situation's like storm chasing.

They have no say in the matter and it puts them in a threatening position. I don't necessarily know that by the law anything can be done about it, but it's shitty parenting...

man this thread was my entertainment for the night. I love tdub

10/16/2009 7:02:22 PM

so could someone recap what happend to the boy?

10/16/2009 10:39:26 PM

He was "hiding" in the attic.


He's alive, but the parents will prob beat him to death or poison him for blowing their cover a/b their publicity stunt.

10/16/2009 10:44:07 PM

I was watching something today that said the first people the family called was the FAA (or w/e), then the local news channel, then the authorities

10/16/2009 10:47:34 PM

I read that too. Which is the dead giveaway that it's for publicity. Local newspeople are tards. What are they going to do about a boy in a runaway balloon?

10/16/2009 10:49:26 PM

I can kind of understand calling the FAA first, but the news station before the police?

I won't feel particularly bad for the parents if they lose their kids over this stunt but it will be sad for the kids since it seems they genuinely like their parents and don't have the shit beaten out of them like your run of the mill foster children.

10/18/2009 4:46:08 PM

That is all.

10/19/2009 10:22:39 AM

the family is interviewing with CNN and Falcon pukes. It's hilarious.

10/19/2009 4:39:04 PM

Nancy Grace bitching about it right now.

10/19/2009 8:21:52 PM

Nancy Grace bitching? No chance

10/19/2009 8:27:04 PM

I just saw it on the guide and thought "Bet she's pissed about balloon boy tonight!"

Yup.

10/19/2009 8:28:27 PM

Also I heard that social services is investigating domestic violence calls that were made months prior to this balloon incident. I feel bad for the kids. I hope something is done about the fruitcake parents!

10/19/2009 8:30:00 PM

Anything to get her to shut up about Caylee Anthony. On a side note I can not picture her being pleasant, ever, about anything

10/19/2009 8:32:21 PM

I imagine that the kid will have a miserable life with his parents now. If he ever complains about anything his dad will yell "WELL MAYBE IF YOU'D KEPT YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT OUR LIVES WOULD BE DIFFERENT!"

10/19/2009 8:32:35 PM

if you know your kid is sick enough to warrant a vomit receptacle, why not pick a different day for an interview or let him sit that one out?

10/19/2009 8:42:16 PM

Because they would never pass up a chance for publicity, and given the balloon stunt, they probably saw him puking on TV as a positive thing.

10/19/2009 8:44:08 PM

If the dad had played his cards right he would have seen the puke then jumped up and shouted HOLY FUCK! FALCON IS POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL!

How did TDUB miss this:

http://gawker.com/5383858/exclusive-i-helped-richard-heene-plan-a-balloon-hoax

?

Quote :

"For the first time, 25-year-old researcher Robert Thomas reveals to Gawker how earlier this year he and Richard Heene drew up a master plan to generate a massive media controversy using a weather balloon. To get famous, of course. ... Hunger for Stardom There was something else at work, though. Oddly enough, Richard's sampling of stardom from being on Wife Swap — twice — gave him a sense of seniority in our scientific conversations. They became less and less about what I had to contribute and more and more about what Richard wanted. And he wanted nothing more than to get another reality TV series. Richard had an ongoing dialog with someone at ABC who helped produce Wife Swap. Richard was pitching something along the lines of "MythBusters-meets-mad scientist." There would be these esoteric abstract experiments attempting to prove or disprove various theories. My job was to help him prepare a formal proposal. For each of 52 weekly episodes, to explain specifically what the subject would be, and why. ... I was very receptive to the idea of filtering esoteric science for the general population. A show would allow us to take the TV network's money and use it to fund real experimentation, to buy equipment unavailable to me as a student and an entrepreneur. We could experiment with electromagetics, crystal formation and new types of materials. Richard, on the other hand, was often driven by ego and fame. He was all about controversy, hoping to whip up something significant enough to eliminate our reality TV competitors. He wanted episodes that would shock people and maximize his exposure. And he'd been trying for months. On several occasions, he sat down and told me he'd do whatever it took to make it happen — to win. He eventually resorted to extreme measures. The UFO Idea (And the End of the World As We Know It in 2012) One night, when Richard and I were sitting and talking, he brought up Wife Swap, and specifically a confrontation he had with a woman on the show who claimed to be a psychic. They very much disliked one other. Richard said, "Well, think about it. We were the 100th episode of Wife Swap. And why are we the most recognized Wife Swap family and episode? It's because of the controversy. I don't care what people say about me as a person, but the fact of the matter is that they know who I am." And then we delved into the area of UFOs. I was reading a book on witness reports of Roswell at the time, just out of curiousity — I've never concluded whether it really took place or was an elaborate hoax. And Richard said, "how much do you want to bet we could facilitate some sort of a media stunt that would be equally profound as Roswell, and we could do so with nothing more than a weather balloon and some controversy?" (See item 16 here.) ... I clearly remember Richard telling me that, if we accomplish this, it would be the most controversial and widespread UFO news story since Roswell in 1947. (See audio at top of post.) But he was motivated by theories I thought were far-fetched. Like Reptilians — the idea there are alien beings that walk among us and are shape shifters, able to resemble human beings and running the upper echelon of our government. Somehow a secret government has covered all this up since the U.S. was established, and the only way to get the truth out there was to use the mainstream media to raise Richard to a status of celebrity, so he could communicate with the masses. As the weeks progressed, his theories got more and more extreme and paranoid. A lot of it surrounded 2012, and the possibility of there being an apocalyptic moment. Richard likes to talk a lot about the possibility of the Sun erupting in a large-scale solar flare that wipes out the Earth. It got to the point where he was really pressing me, saying we're running out of time, we're running out of time, the end of the world is coming. And we have to take necessary precautions to make sure that we're not among the majority that's going to be killed. It got to the point where I was just nodding my head and going along with what he said, because it was easier than trying to debate with him. (See audio at bottom of post.) Falcon's Fishy Flight Incident When my friends called me about the whole balloon episode I was working. I had just moved to a new place and didn't have my television set up. I probably would never even have heard about this, except that a good friend of mine remembered me telling him about Richard several months ago. He told me, "Rob, you need to turn on the tv immediately! That Richard guy you worked with just pulled a massive publicity stunt!" Richard's story doesn't add up. He is saying he thought Falcon was in the balloon, and that Falcon ran and hid as a result of Richard yelling at him. I've spent a lot of time with them, and Falcon is, first of all, not afraid of his father. I've never once seen Richard's children afraid of him — and I've definitely never seen Falcon go hide. He was one of the most social of the three children. Secondly, Falcon supposedly hid in that attic in the garage. I've spent a lot of time in his garage, which has a drill press and various welding tools. It's unorganized and chaotic. There's really not so much an attic as some support beams connected with plywood. Being an adult of average height, I couldn't get up into the attic if I'd wanted to, so I don't know how a six-year-old child could have gotten up there. There's not an easy way to access that overhang. Maybe if I'd lifted that child up into the attic, he might have been able to rest up there, but not comfortably. My doubts and concerns about that story were verified when Falcon's parents asked him on CNN, "why didn't you come out?" And Falcon said, "you guys said we did this for the show." Lights went off in my head. Bells were ringing; whistles were whistling. I said, "Wow, Richard is using his children as pawns to facilitate a global media hoax that's going to give him enough publicity to temporarily attract A-list celebrity status and hopefully attract a network."
