HAHAHAHAHA good job, assholes.

I have seen the mention of this baloon boy on multiple sites... yet.... I still lack the will to look it up. Can anybody resume what's going down with this shit?

The links all provide the required information..

Homemade Balloon goes up in the air.
Father claims kid is on board.
National Guard and News Media chase balloon across state.
It was a hoax.

Well, they definitely have to pay for the search and "rescue" but no charges have been pressed, yet. They are doing that shortly.

I can see the break-room television from my desk at work, and it seems like every time I look up that damn balloon is on it.

We get it, the kid's dad is a douche, he wasn't actually in the balloon...

Now, aren't there people getting raped and lit on fire in Africa or something to report about?

Hamma · 2009-10-20, 01:51 PM

naw those people don't exist.

Giovanni · 2009-10-21, 09:34 AM

They don't report about it until someone is raped WHILE he's on fire.
