- absolutelytrue, on 10/16/2009, -11/+879OMG.. what a piece of ***** family.
- KibblesnBitts, on 10/16/2009, -5/+653Just step back for a moment and recall the ***** that almost happened. The National Guard sent two aircraft up to the balloon - hundreds of EMTs and volunteers were on the ground ready for action, and the Air Force was getting prepared to do something. The resources and potential danger these men and women almost put themselves into and put forward was for nothing.
You sir, are a sick man. Your wife is just as horrible for cooperating, and the exploitation is sickening. You are both unfit to be parents and should never be allowed to be near children - even your own. Go ***** yourselves, you are horrible, horrible people for wanting fifteen minutes of fame. Congratulations, you've received it. Now go away. Not only did the United States fear for Falcone's life, but the rest of the world did as well. Al-Jezeera, BBC, and any other reputable news organizations along with millions of viewers and people prayed for the safety of your son. But instead, you wanted him to be missing - for the show. For the show.
Because of you, when children actually go missing, some people may start to think twice and wonder whether or not it is legitimate or another hoax. You have potentially put the lives of many children into danger as a result of even the slightest hiccup in search efforts due to questioning the legitimacy of whether or not someone is actually missing. You are horrible people and are unfit to understand anything greater than yourselves. You two should put yourselves in a helium mylar balloon and let it pop 5,000 feet in the air.
There are many horrible people in the world, but you two created a new category of repugnance. - gamebittk, on 10/16/2009, -8/+518GOD DAMMIT FALCON
- alanocu, on 10/16/2009, -5/+421Awful. They should have to pay for the cost of that "rescue." They should also have to pay us for the amount of time we wasted watching that farce.
- BeShirtHappy, on 10/16/2009, -5/+337I told my husband as soon as I realized who the family was, that it was a hoax. These parents are messed up.
- Kruse, on 10/16/2009, -3/+321I can't wait to see what the South Park guys do with this.
- brucealmighty, on 10/16/2009, -10/+308Pranks are one thing but pretending the life of a 6 year old is at risk is something else entirely. Someone needs to go to jail over this.
- janinekahn, on 10/16/2009, -7/+264Those horrible, horrible people. :(
- SpyderTaco, on 10/16/2009, -0/+247It was the father ***** his pants.
- noupsell, on 10/16/2009, -3/+239did someone fart after that confession?
- ZJamaican, on 10/16/2009, -2/+203Wolf Confronts Family About Boy's Comment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtFXtiUbbw
- fragMasterFlash, on 10/16/2009, -4/+204FALCON PUNCH!
- TheJimid, on 10/16/2009, -1/+167So...will they be paying the tax payers back for the search?
- Kruse, on 10/16/2009, -0/+152I love how the dad squirms at trying to answer the question because he knows he is busted.
- omenmedia, on 10/16/2009, -0/+146Perfect comedic timing.
Falcon: "You guys said... that... we did this for the show..."
Dad: *PARP* - gfxluvr, on 10/16/2009, -3/+143At first, I hated the parents for naming their child "Falcon."
Now, I am disgusted by the parents after seeing the video. Amazing what people will do, fake even their own toddlers death or close to it, for media exposure. - omenmedia, on 10/16/2009, -2/+141This is so going to become a South Park episode.
- rocketman42, on 10/16/2009, -2/+134Based on the Simpson's, I now expect him to truly get stuck in a balloon and have no one believe them. Too bad his name isn't Timmy.
Oh, I also liked the wife's response - "We searched everywhere we thought he could fit." Except the garage because there is no way a small child could fit in there... - BankFailure, on 10/16/2009, -1/+129Attention they seek,
attention they find.
***** trash ass family. - iamsmooth, on 10/16/2009, -3/+129Piece of ***** dad (and probably mom)*. Can't blame the kids for having retarded attention whore parents.
- BankFailure, on 10/16/2009, -3/+121YES!
He says, "Remember, you're the result of me ***** your mother..." - RobertWright, on 10/16/2009, -8/+122Pull the Show, this is going to far for ratings!
- hbyrne, on 10/16/2009, -2/+108Never underestimate how low people will go in prostituting themselves (and their families) in order to achieve or maintain fame.
- Velocity14, on 10/16/2009, -1/+103I enjoy the part where the kid tells the truth despite being fed lies.
Don't let the man take you down, man! - BuzzEdition, on 10/16/2009, -0/+96too late
http://www.urlesque.com/2009/10/15/balloon-boy-mem ... - BREZZZ, on 10/16/2009, -7/+94I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the balloon cannot lift a kid, and the parents knew it the whole time.
- copypastry, on 10/16/2009, -0/+80Nation done got trolled. The dad is a ***** *****.
- staffa, on 10/16/2009, -1/+79I imagine some criminal charges will be forth coming.
- rpieszak, on 10/16/2009, -1/+78You need to stop mincing words. How do you really feel?
- tunafizzle, on 10/16/2009, -15/+91This perfectly illustrates how incredibly dumb society and journalists have become. All the networks covering this ***** with almost no regard to facts about anything anymore. All of them clinging to the same story, the same god damn footage and the same "clearly i do not know what the ***** to say" style commentary. I saw people today: "oh the balloon landed in denver!" and everyone swarmed to get an "update".Who gives a *****? My first thought was how hell would a kid be alive breathing only helium and could that really even carry a kid across denver? Maybe someone can clarify....
Is everyone seriously this dumb now?
we're slowly losing the public option and no one cares. The far right is creating an environment of hatred that is slowly endangering the life of our president and no one cares. We've been in Afghanistan for 8 ***** years now and we still don't know what to do. But who gives a *****? There's a balloon in the sky to stare at! - KibblesnBitts, on 10/16/2009, -0/+74Sorry....I was doing it for the show.
- Shuk, on 10/16/2009, -2/+73Wolf Blitzer panzied out there: "Durr... what'd he say?" CNN needs to grow some balls.
- fenrillx, on 10/16/2009, -2/+71Coming next year to TLC "That ***** Balloon Family"
- thegman3, on 10/16/2009, -4/+71They will get plenty of hate mail for this one. That was just wrong on so many levels man.
- noupsell, on 10/16/2009, -0/+58Dad sure is whispering into Falcons ear at the beginning of that segment.. any lip readers catch that?
- blitzkriegpunk, on 10/16/2009, -2/+57Please, God, don't let this become a new meme.
- Opiebreath, on 10/16/2009, -0/+52Really? I mean, really now? You HAD to bring politics into this?
- algaeturd, on 10/16/2009, -0/+51The lights and cameras will do that to a kid...I bet he was coached to one story, the lights came on and he just went blank. His first instinct was just to tell the truth and that's when it broke. And you could feel the dad's blood drop pressure skyrocket.
- MacTyler, on 10/16/2009, -1/+51EPIC: http://imgur.com/8Swi9.png
- kanojo1969, on 10/16/2009, -5/+54Blitzer is easily the worst television 'journalist' I have ever seen. He fails to recognise every single opportunity that presents itself, and when the producers force him to go back and chase something, he gives it half a shot and gives up.
Seriously, this guy has a beard, and that's it. Absolutely nothing about him makes you think 'competent'. If he did't have a beard he would be in jail on child rape charges, I'm sure.
I think Wolf Blitzer's entire mental faculty is not much more complex than an average 10-year-old kid. - WELLDOITLIVE, on 10/16/2009, -3/+52Who ever is digging this guy down, do you really blame a 6 year old for this? His parents are *****
- KibblesnBitts, on 10/16/2009, -3/+52I feel sad, tired, and angry that I decided to follow this story instead of studying for a midterm I had later in the day.
That was a bit easier to type than the rant. - NigelSheldon, on 10/16/2009, -3/+51somebody should check their pants
- kyleforeman, on 10/16/2009, -0/+45They can now pay for the rescue and the cost of diverting traffic at Denver International.
- MrMayBeBanned, on 10/16/2009, -3/+47Simpsons beat them to it... like 20 years ago
- greatgatsbyII, on 10/16/2009, -0/+42They should have had a tape recorder in the balloon playing Rick Astley.
- algaeturd, on 10/16/2009, -0/+38Why didn't they call him out for that?
That's the only thing I don't understand...the boy clearly confessed, the dad skirted the topic and Wolf didn't even call them out or demand a serious explanation. CNN: Always asking the TOUGH questions.
Come on...this is *****. The whole world was watching this thing, thousands of dollars were spent trying to track the kid down and the parents orchestrated it for publicity?
***** scumbags. I thought my neighbor was going to cry when she told me she watched it land and she was relieved that the kid wasn't in there. - SpyderTaco, on 10/16/2009, -1/+38I said the same thing 9 minutes ago. Well played.
- jguy584, on 10/16/2009, -3/+40Apparently, according to an article on groundreport.com posted hours before the "it was for the show" thing, the douchebag dad called the media as well as 911.
Article:
http://tinyurl.com/ykmdgn9 - rpieszak, on 10/16/2009, -4/+41So, wait.. not only are these people bad for all the reasons you explain above, but now they're also gonna make you fail your midterm, flunk out of school, lose your home, and suffer through a short miserable life??? GODDAMMIT!
