Some people are so stupid, even their very idea of success (making a fake U.F.O. and pretending to lose their kid in it) is stupid.
I was one of the few who said nice things and sent prayers on one of the live/immediate post-live threads.
I take them all back and the prayers are now for those poor children being raised by such awful people.
It may have been planned as a publicity stunt.
However, I doubt that he planned on the youngest son having appeared to have left with the craft.
Live press conf on right now with the sheriff- he’s visibily upset- actually- furious.
Unbelievable family.
Fame and fortune, two really big motivators which have launched many a poorly conceived plan. The good thing is that they didn’t actually launch the kid off in the balloon to achieve realism.
Since when do conservatives rush to judgement on the allegations of an LEO?
Perhaps or perhaps not, the family set this up.
This poster is not convinced. Any time a local official gets in front of national television and rails in any way on some sudden “tough” crackdown on this or that - fact is often it turns out to be driven in large part by political ambition.
Is the family seeking publicity.
Or is the sheriff?...
Wow! That’s what I get for thinking nobody could be this stupid.
This guy got his fame, but it’s going to take the form of shame.
Way to go numb n-ts.
I saw footage of the balloon in flight on TV last night and it’s obvious it doesn’t have enough lift to carry a probably 40lb kid. Why the hell was everyone who had actually seen the balloon getting their panties all wadded?
I love this. Wasn’t this the same sheriff that said that it was his professional opinion that this wasn’t a hoax based on his interviews with the parents and the hyperactive boy?
Great, now can we get some real news in the spotlight? Such as the destruction of our country, loss of our sovereignty, and the infiltration of our government by a horde of Marxists?
Reality TV has jumped the shark.
So the ACLU is possibly gonna be involved in this case?
wow.....
New realty show, “The Heenes in Jail”.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if we find out that the democrat party paid them to do this to get negative Obama stories off the TeeVee. Wouldn’t surprise me at all! What weren’t we looking at while we were all watching the UFO?
And now when the REAL flying saucers pick up a little boy .............nobody will believe it.
This story now is about as interesting as the John & Kate Plus 8 thing. Funny part is that when this John & Kate thing came out, I had to ask who are John & Kate. Had never watched the show and as a result, I guess I didn’t really care about those two.
The balloon boy story is getting to be just as bad. We are being saturated with it...even Fox News covers it. If this family is looking for publicity, they’ve got it now. Sad.
The kind of news story that appealed to people during the 30’s! Kind of interesting given our current economy.
Plus, it gave me my new tagline . . .
