Epic Fail!

He just said to his parents on Wolf Blitzer “You guys said we did it for a show.” Wolf didn’t seem to notice. Video at the link.
Nope. ABC prime time.
Al Capones vault? wasn’t that a couple hours of crap on tv and cnn had this vid on for a couple hours?
These parents are just plain sick and twisted. Wonder how soon before this guy will run for Congress, he would fit in that place perfectly? Those two older boys could NOT hide in their faces that daddy and mommy L I E!!!!!
Yes, I am repulsed and could not bare to watch the TUBE to hear the ‘death’ reports that had to be coming since the child was NOT in the balloon when it landed.
I kinda smelled a media whore here early on.
1.) Parents allegedly called a local TV station to report the incident rather than 911 or police
2.) The whole story broke and was resolved in time for east coast prime time news
3.) The couple have previously appeared on ‘Swapping Wives’ indicating they like being in the limelight
4.) The math just doesn’t work on that helium balloon being able to lift that much weight.
Moreso than Obama did.
These children did not think in those terms. They were told to do this,....except the part of repeating what their father said in their presence, "We will let the spaceship loose, already filled with helium, claim our six year old child is in it, manipulate every media outlet in the country, so we can get ratings up for the show. We'll do it for the show".
That is the process a six year old kid would have to go through in his mind to come up with his explaination...."We did it for the show."
That’s what was breaking my heart. Thinking that kid had fallen a few hundred feet after lifting off.
In a moment of sanity, I was trying to use my science background and guess the volume of the helium in that thing to determine if it was enough to carry a 6 year-old kid.
But I really did think that it took off and he and the “box” fell to the ground.
Maybe my next box of Crackerjack will have a birth certificate in it, showing that I was born in Hawaii.
The new “Science and Tech Czars” or the new “Fight the Smears” (truth) Czar.
Maybe Barack will invite them for some koolaid in the White HOuse?
Yeah, I heard the wife say something like, the boy appeared out of nowhere and it took her a second to realize it was him! WHAT? If you’ve really been wondering all afternoon if he could be DEAD?? Who would phrase it that way?
the kids says “you said we did it for the show”
That could mean anything. Picture it this way...dad finds the little brat hiding. Then confronts the older kid for saying his brother was on the balloon. They just do the usual little kid crap and say “i don’t know”.
Then dad says “you guys will do anything for a show!”
Now on live television the little brat can’t think of anything to say so he just repeats what his dad said to him.
I was trying to figure out if there would be a chance for a really, really good skydiver to latch onto the contraption and carry the kid to safety.
ping
That dad is way too guilty.
Yeah--where the heck was Geraldo today. This was made for him.
“his stupid balloon which looked like a bowl of jiffy pop”
LOL!
This afternoon I listened as this balloon incident went wall to wall on the cable channels and Sean Hannity speculating on his AM radio show while it was being interrupted that the boy had fallen to his death since there was nobody inside the balloon when it landed.
What a bunch of IDIOTS!!!!!
He said in the press conference that this was some kind of invention in the early stages to put on your car so you can hover in traffic.
