Ditto.

EDIT: And doubtless the boy was white and from an affluent suburb, right? We wouldn't be hearing about this on national news if he were anything but that. Sad to say.

Millions of Americans Waste Entire F**king Afternoon
Balloon Boy to America: Punk'd!


COLORADO (The Borowitz Report) - Moments after a little boy who was believed to be in his parents' homemade helium balloon was found safe and sound, millions of Americans came to the realization that they had flushed the entire f**king afternoon down the f**king toilet.

"I watched the entire drama unfold and then it turned out that no drama had unfolded," said Carol Foyler, 32, of Missoula, Montana. "I can't tell you how pissed I am at that f**king kid."

At their Colorado home, the parents of six-year-old Falcon Heene said that they were relieved that their son was all right and that they were pushing forward with their plans to build a giant child-operated flame-throwing robot.

That's kind of a racist comment...

It's OK. SteveO is now ineligible to own an NHL team.

kind of ?

edit: but not completely unfounded. I can be a tiny bit cynical sometimes, too. :-)

This could be right on target. Modern TV shows are a terrible influence on kids, even the pablum the Disney Channel serves up.

An interview this evening on CNN is raising all sorts of questions and is likely to be making the rounds well into the night. Asked why he didn’t respond to his family calling his name, Falcon says, “you guys [his parents] said we did this for the show.” His parents, seemingly stunned by the answer, quickly try to change the story.
