The media was FEEDING on this foolishness all afternoon, CNN had an entire front page photo and coverage of the event.

The media is a joke, the kid probably thought he was in trouble.

He hid in the fucking attic of his house because his father yelled at him!

HA!

Saw it on the news tonight, recognized the guy from Wife Swap, he is a loon. Sounds like the kid might have let slip that it might been a "show" on CNN to get some media attention.

Epic Fail.

Wife swap eh? Dude does seem like quite a piece of work. He's been on the news every hour since the incident happened.

I think it's crazier news that you recognized this kid from wife swap, then the fact that this kid actually hid in the attic and caused a stir.

He was on NBC this morning, for a live interview with his family, and he puked his guts out all over the floor.

What a fucking joke that guy is.. looks like a real skum bag. Hopefully they make him pay for all the money blown on this.

Kyonye · 2009-10-17, 01:52 PM

I don't think he needs to pay for anything. If CNN was that fucking gullible, I'm happy they spent effort and money on it.

I'm talking about the national guard chopper that was chasing the balloon. I could give two poops and a dingo about CNN

Sheriff: Parent Expected to be Charged in 'Balloon Boy' Case

A Colorado Sheriff says criminal charges are expected to be filed against Richard Heene, the father of the so-called "Balloon Boy," ET confirms.

The parent of the child -- who was thought to be sent up in a Mylar balloon but was later found in the garage of his family's home -- are said to face a Class 3 misdemeanor charge, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said in a press conference on Saturday.

The sheriff's department is also said to be obtaining search warrants for the Heene home. Alderden also said that FAA officials and federal officials are looking to any additional charges that may apply.
