Also on KFI Los Angeles, we just heard it...
THAT'S what it is! We are annoyed at a WHOLE FAMILY!
Not the fact that the nation's rescue machinery was mobilized, needlessly and expensively, by a probable hoax! No no no. It's the fact that they are a WHOLE FAMILY.
It's our horrible, horrible ENVY at play here!
I knew this story didn’t smell right. Like the saying goes, if it smells like BS, it probably is
I know I’m envious of a kid that cusses and farts all the time...
I hate whole families. Fragmented families are OK, but whole families...They suck
Laz, you know I love you but this is TOOOO much. My eyes, arrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I remember that one. It was really a great series.
The Duggars are real and they’re whole. They’re a real testimony to what a good family really can be. I also like Little People. Both shows are decent.
...Those TV stations and cable channels probabaly skipped some commercials for it...
FNC said 2 hrs without commercial breaks. LOTS of lost revenue.
Well, they should have held off on their evening interviews and rehearsed more.
No, we gnash our teeth and rend our shirts because they are a WHOLE FAMILY.
Gosh, our snout-nosed witches faces HOWL when we see whole families!
when the balloon landed, I thought at the time the emergency personnel seemed rather lackadaisical for a life and death situation. My guess is that they had already been informed there was no one in the balloon. Meaning that the news media knew also, and was just hyping the drama.
If this is the hoax it seems to be, these parents are nuts for putting their kids on the air over and over, and letting them answer questions. Their desire for any and all publicity has possibly fried all their brain cells and they are no longer able to think logically. - The probability that one of the kids would spill the beans was very high as much as they’ve been on TV today.
LOL! Remember, we men must endure Helen Thomas pictures, soooo..... be strong, my Mary. :)
Beat the kid for spilling the beans
Hearing Shep Smith saying:
“A First Grader,
Flying Through The Air,
... at 25 MPH!”
I could almost forgive them.
I was laughing so hard watching it live...
I had a hunch these people were media hounds....
What a pathologically screwed up family. God help those kids...please!
If you go back to the 40’s and 50’s, there were a lot of “decent” movies and TV shows which were entirely produced, acted, directed and promoted by Communists. They can fake “decent”, okay? Real decent people don’t have the massive vainglory that lusts after millions of other people’s eyes and attention on their private lives.
