- DiggMyDong, on 10/17/2009, -4/+36...and we find out Balloon Boy never entered the bar in the first place, Kanye was interrupted by his future self, and Lady Gaga was nowhere to be seen (much like her vocal talents).
- Phisch27, on 10/17/2009, -3/+31Balloon boy: Michael Jackson ordering takeout in heaven.
- gankige, on 10/16/2009, -3/+30I can't understand for the life of me why people care so much about the cult of celebrity.
- blitzwing85, on 10/17/2009, -1/+21He's this amazing 6 year old kid with the uncanny ability to vomit whenever his dad starts lying on TV.
- algaeturd, on 10/17/2009, -2/+20Well, judging from the comments, it doesn't look like anyone actually read the article. It's a shame, too, because it was about how inundated the public has become with useless trends and ***** memes through the media and social networking and how it tweaks our reality invariably.
It sucks because this is the world we've created. You can turn it off but you almost have to turn off everything...TV, internet social networking, Digg, etc. Just think how much space ***** like Kanye West and balloon boy are occupying in your mind when real news mostly gets all dissolved in the ***** if it gets reported at all these days.
No wonder people can't figure out the truth from the lies from the half-truths in the media. Networks feed people the ***** they want in order to get an audience. Instead of giving them the truth and the facts, it's spoon fed to them with Lady Gaga and Kanye and Balloon Boy...the U.S. is NOT a country known for it's intelligent public...they cannot discern facts from fiction from useless *****. And thus, we go on...the media is a blender mixing the ***** with the cream and we're all drinking it up. - derektherock42, on 10/17/2009, -1/+16A priest, a rabbi, and a Buddhist monk walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "What is this, a joke?"
- darkzealot89, on 10/17/2009, -1/+15*slow clap*
- valarking, on 10/17/2009, -1/+12Buried for general douche-ness
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 10/17/2009, -0/+10A priest, a rabbi, and a terrorist walk into a bar...
BOOM!
What? You were expecting a joke? - chaoticdaniel, on 10/17/2009, -0/+8The "author" likes to use "quotation marks" a lot
- Dinner, on 10/17/2009, -3/+10Another big reason why it's hip to hate on pop stars is because they tend to make awful, derivative pop music.
...Having checked youtube, I think she might do that. - TwwIX, on 10/17/2009, -2/+9Gaga must be his boyfriend.
- DrLeePhD, on 10/17/2009, -2/+9I've been offline for a bit, Who the ***** is balloon boy?
- danxmason, on 10/16/2009, -1/+8Why was lady gaga mentioned?
- Gusso, on 10/17/2009, -1/+7You are absolutely right. If you check her live performance on SNL you will see how much of a singer she is. Independent if you like her pop tracks or not, you can't say she doesn't have vocal talents, that is just incorrect.
- linagee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+5People were fooled that a kid built a balloon contraption and floated away? How light is this kid? Do people not realize how many tanks of helium this might require? (Did nobody see the mythbusters episode on this where it took an airplane hanger full?)
/also late to the party - Speedy7, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4That's no man, that's my wife!
- smileyouredead, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4Because we have nothing better to do with our time and it distracts us from our otherwise pitiful existence, plus we're hoping to be able to watch them lose it all and possibly commit suicide or at least freak out in an entertaining manner.
- drex8, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4I hate to see the balloon boy being pulled into a joke with Kanye. I know he may have acted as an idiot and recklessly, and pulled a stunt which caused a nationwide drama, but he's still a young and naive kid. He may have done it for fun and attention, but never thought it would blew into such huge proportions. (Wonder if the media had something to do with that). His actions can in no way be compared with the douchebaggery stunts of Kanye.
That man is in a class by itself. A super, overbearing, egotistical jackass. - drex8, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3You could've used the reply button up above to reply at the proper thread.
- CaviMike, on 10/17/2009, -1/+4A man walks into a bar, OW!
- MarcieCastillo, on 10/17/2009, -1/+4haters gonna hate
- joe159, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3i love the punch line.
- Railz, on 10/17/2009, -3/+6s/he. Not that it matters to me :o
- linagee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+2Is heaven in outer space, or....?
- Chooxo, on 10/17/2009, -0/+2"Hi I've been offline and what is this?"
- iPenis, on 11/25/2009, -0/+1I just got out of prison and I knew what balloon boy was. You sir loose many internets.
- cheapo17, on 10/16/2009, -5/+6i wish the balloon would land on Kanye's career
- areyouserial, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Buried for author citing and quoting himself several times. What a d-bag.
- drex8, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Why was Rosie O'Donell or Roseanne not mentioned?
They're fast disappearing from the public view. :( - linagee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Because the parents should have strapped a GPS beacon to their child if they really wanted to know where he is 24/7.
- iPenis, on 11/25/2009, -1/+1Read Dianetics
- randmcnally, on 10/17/2009, -1/+1well to be totally honest I'd rather read joke comments about Balloon Boy and Michael Jackson's take out than your submissions about Glenn Beck and Cheney and AIG bailouts on a Saturday morning.
TV, internet, and social networking sites are also allowed to be the spaces in life that people can go to read about ***** and forget about Glenn Beck and Dick Cheney and AIG if they choose to.
Plus the article was tripe anyway.
FTA:
Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Balloon Boy.

One more thing, are you telling me this submission of yours isn't an attempt at a useless trend or ***** meme?
http://digg.com/pets_animals/***** ... - eloi89, on 10/17/2009, -0/+0lol settle down.
- GTKarber, on 10/17/2009, -3/+1It's just so cheap. Oh, I don't like her, so she's a man. That's such a mean, cheap attack to make. I'm sorry I didn't make a more articulate rant the first time around, and I'm also sorry that TwwlX thinks calling me and Gaga boyfriends is funny.
- Galaxylander, on 10/17/2009, -19/+16Uh Lady GaGa is a fantastic singer. I get that it's hip to hate on pop stars because we think they're automatically manufactured and stupid but she's a very smart, talented woman that has a great voice and produces a lot of her own music. So....

- Brallit, on 10/17/2009, -8/+2I would've dugg this if not for their poor choice of the word "smash" (instead of "threw")
FTA: "I grab the phone out of his hands and smash it to the ground" - GTKarber, on 10/17/2009, -25/+4Oh, ha! HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You are funny.
