Six-year-old Falcon Heene was part of a set-up and the whole balloon boy incident was a hoax.
And his parents are facing criminal charges.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
I know. What else do you say to this?
What’s wrong with some people!!
They’re going to get rich and faaaaaaaaaaymous on reality TV. So grateful I don’t have TV (except for the Ken Burns projects ‘n’ stuff like that).
….meaning I’m sorry I miss those.
I watch less and less tv, the older and grumpier I get.
…and some day you’ll be as old and grumpy as I, and you’ll cancel cable.
Any minute now!
Hey now. I’m in my 20s and I don’t have cable. Actually, I wouldn’t have a tv at all if my friend hadn’t given me hers when she moved. Are you suggesting I am old and grumpy? *hands on hips*
Yes. I’m sorry. You ARE old and grumpy. Welcome to my clan.
Almost no TV, although 20 some years ago I watched pro rasslin’, to my wife’s disgust.
That gives me an idea for an award-winning blog entry. Or just a blog entry. Thanks, Bro. Jay!
Saddest thing is that is doesn’t shock me half as much as it should. The world is increasingly full of people who land on the idiot-box for no reason what so ever.
I said this earlier, but I was watching this in a newsroom and one of my colleagues suggested — pretty early on, in fact — that this could be a hoax and we were all stunned at her cynicism. And this is a roomful of hard-bittened, mean-spirited journalists.
Oooh, Reality show idea:
DJ Bloggers: Lead by a feminist right-wing journalist this band of strange and opinionated people live together in virtual-land and strive to keep their sanity in an ever increasingly bizzaro world.
Yes! But am I supposed to be right-wing? Because I’m really going to have to try to be that. I believe I’ve falled off to the left, accidentally.
Remember that one guy who tried to come in (Sean? I forget) and disrupt our lil’ island? We’ve all disagreed on various subjects, but we’ve mostly managed to do so without being turds about it. I warned Sean, who was, frankly, being a turd, that he was about to have his lunch handed to him, and the strange and opinionated people here in virtual land did just that. I didn’t feel too sorry for him. He asked for it, actually.
Aircraft will be optional.
But no balloons!
Oh crap I wrote RIGHT-wing instead of LEFT wing!!!!!! Mea culpa DJ
I am not offended. I thought maybe my fundamentalist slip was showing more than I thought. No apologies necessary.
YOu can watch all the crap you want now on the ‘puter. We ditched Directv, but I have a bad habit of studying with the TV on. (I’m not actually watching it, but I need the noise to focus against. ADD, anyone?)
What about NPR? At least if anything filters in, it’ll be somewhat articulate and maybe even educational!
My Lord, but the comment section is messed up today. I don’t know where this will appear, but when I’m typing at home alone, I usually have either music (there’s a particular folk song show that plays back here once a week on Sundays…) or NPR, precisely for this reason. Articulate. Educational.
That’s true. And the stories do talk about people watching video, etc., on hand-helds and computers and everything else. I can watch video on my phone, though I’m not moved to do so. And I use music in the background (or on earphones) the way you use TV. I used to use TV to fall asleep by. I’d turn it on in the bedroom — very, very low — and fall asleep, but then I’d wake up at 3 by the blue light and that’s no fun.
