I’ve had enough of the Heene family and “Balloon Boy” story, something that I cared so little about that I called it “Bubble Boy” the other day. But there’s still a glut of Heene news out there, so this can be the Bubble Boy Memorial Thread. RIP, giving a crap about this family of jackasses.
- Falcon threw up twice during the awesomely awkward “Today Show” interview. Did the New York Daily News get video stills? You betcha.
- Officials are looking to press felony charges against the Heenes, who could face up to six years in jail and a $500K fine. [Denver Post]
- Surprising absolutely no one, TMZ reports that the Heenes were pitching a reality show.
- Surprising absolutely no one, Gawker provides proof that the Heenes did the stunt to land a reality show.
Further evidence that people who aspire to be on reality shows need to get rounded up, placed in a steel container, and sent to the bottom of the ocean. Or fired into the sun. I prefer fired into the sun, but that’s expensive and we all need to live a little more frugally these days.

Chad Henne was busy on his bye week.
these parents should have already been thrown in jail for naming their kid, Falcon.
My favorite part is how the idiotic attention whore parents will be serving jail time for this stunt. I hope they still get the reality show. It can be called “I Lied to the Whole World, Now My Ass is Getting Pounded Raw on a Daily Basis.”
When the story broke, my first hope (other than this was a full on Timmy O’Toole situation) was that the kid was really in the balloon, of his own volition, and would land it at the 50 Yard line of the Pats game on Sunday. The reason being, kids who have that “drive” to explore generally work out pretty well for society. They invent, take risk, and are generally pretty smart. Instead, this poor kid is likely going to be on Celebrity Rehab 24.
Why don’t we just put a bullet in the parents’ heads and be done with it? Paid in full.
