Balloon Boy
For a matter of hours late last week, the world stopped turning as everyone shifted their gaze to an empty balloon flying over Colorado. Once it landed and everyone realized it was empty, the kid they were looking for barfed on Good Morning America. And then again on the Today Show. What a week for him! I bet his Dad is feeling real proud right now, considering he’s the one who set this all in motion. I nominate him for second-worst dad of the new Millennium (right behind Jon Gosselin). If you’re going to name your kid Falcon, at least ensure you don’t get him tangled up in your zany half-baked hoaxes, he’s already in for enough. Now he’s got to live the rest of his life not just as Falcon but Falcon the BALLOON BOY, all in an effort to secure another 15 minutes of fame.
