"Balloon Boy" hurls on Today Show.... Did His Parents Drug Him for TV Apperance? (Vanity)
Today Show ^ | 10-16-09 | Vanity

Posted on 10/16/2009 8:50:51 AM PDT by AngryCapitalist

Most of us have seen the "Balloon Boy" vomit live on the Today Show this morning. My question is this: Was he drugged? Pay close attention to the boy's actions and his general demeanor. Pain killers often cause nausea and vomiting in those not accustomed to taking them. He appears to be in a sort of haze until he calls out, "Mom, I need the cup!", and then the chunks fly. In my opinion these publicity whores slipped their kid a "Mickey" to prevent him from blowing their cover and saying something "off script" again. Watch the video and let me know what you think.

You have NO IDEA if the kid is lying...but he shouldn’t be on TV. We have become a nation of mean, petty, doubtful, nasty people who think we are good. That’s the worst part of it all..and yes..I’m talking about you.

The kid is sick with guilt...knowing that he was told to lie and with all the attention...

Yup! Nailed it!!

Coming up next week, the father will be on TV booing and caterwauling about how his son got sucked up by this storm he was “chasing”...

He’s a quote Scientist?? Credentials? I saw the vid of him talking abou the grand EXPERIMENT that absolutely, positively had to start by 9 AM.

What’s he doing? Building a replacement for the Shuttle?

I fixed my toater once, that don’t make me no MIT engineer. And just because this guy plays around with some mylar and a tank of helium, he ain’t no scientist.

I wonder if anyone has yet ran his mumblings through voice-stress analysis...

Why are these people appearing on all of these shows, particularly when the kid implicated them in a possible
crime? You would think they would keep their mouths shut.

I think I heard that this family was on “Wife Swap”. At that point they were a gnat’s whisker from Jerry Springer, and yesterday’s stunt fits with the whole scenario.

You'd think the media outlets would stop providing them the air time! They were all made to look like fools, Neil Cavuto yesterday with his sanctimonious, "Hey, I'm a father ..." when he announced that some folks who are concerned about the financial situation in this country were grumbling about the balloon-bust taking over his show. I am so tired of these networks pre-empting with **BREAKING NEWS** **HOLY COW** stuff where they have no facts, no clue what's going on, they plug in to the helicopter-cop camera and even say things like, "We have no idea what's going on, but ...," and we sit there for hours.

The world came to a screeching halt yesterday for this, poetic justice that the lamestream got caught in a hoax. I hope it makes someone in the newsroom think twice next time.

Some guy in the Boston Herald had a theory that he was looking for publicity with the hopes of landing a “The Stormchaser Family” type reality show on TLC, Discovery etc.

Yesterday the most telling thing to me was mom’s not being upset at any point. For her it was just another day of being married to nutjob. The kids should be taken away from these two and raised in a normal environment.

It is very interesting how one of the boys refers to the balloon as a "saucer." On the second video, (Good Morning American interview)when one brother of Falcon's is asked if he was scared, he uses the word "saucer" to describe the balloon.

I think the parents were planning to use this thing they made to make a video of a flying saucer and make a claim that they actually saw one. Now the cat is out of the bag. I think that is what all the secrecy and strange behavior is about, not about the thing being let go by accident, but about being found out.

I don't think this was planned as a hoax of a boy lost in a balloon for attention...but a video about a flying saucer was what was actually planned, until Falcon messed that up by accidentally releasing the balloon.

As far as him being sick on TV...the mother sure shows no real concern. The whole family is more interested in sitting and being interviewed on TV than they are in Falcon's health and comfort. Most parents would have stopped and taken care of their child. These parents are despicable, but it is obvious the mother is under Dad's thumb.

Watching my father lie like a rug would make me sick.

I’ve only seen “Wife Swap” twice, I think, when I was stuck in the house with a cold, or there was bad weather and nothing on—it was pretty lame. Anyway, one of the shows I saw was the one with these whackjobs—Dad, the 3 brats, and to a lesser extent Mom, were some Olympic class idiots.

When the kid was up in the air, they showed their pic and said they had been on Wife Swap-I figured right away there was something hinky-in all likelihood.

If they figure it to be a hoax, they should stick that dumbass dad in jail, and bill him for the stunt. A little “belt time” with those little cretins would be a good thing too.

Christ, our country is going so far down the tubes.

That makes the most sense of all. I'd like to see this family fined for all the people and time involved to be there for this craft when it fell to the ground. I'd also like my two hours back (they can pay me in 50s) that I watched this on television worried for this little kid and his family. What a disgusting bunch ...
