Saturday, October 24, 2009

Mayumi Heene, the mother of "balloon boy" Falcon Heene, told Larimer County, Colo., investigators that her husband Richard built the giant helium balloon for a hoax to draw media attention and they knew the child was hiding the entire time, according to court documents released Friday. The parents face charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and attempting to influence a public servant.

/obligatory

Now if only there was some monetary compensation for those farmers who's field got trampled into muck in the pell mell mad race to the helium thingy then justice will have been done here.

Be Well.

Such a poor example for their sons.

Doubt they will get jail time.

Getting a big giant bill would justified.

Then they would file for BK.

Then they would get help from ACORN.

Oh crap....

I want 10 Years EACH out of BOTH of them. 10 Years and 500,000 fine. That should stop this nonsense.

Larry

Yeah... let's destroy those fuckers!

That will teach them!

Larry,

Do you really think the lure of getting millions from a reality show could possibly "stop this nonsense"?

So many of the people who've "made it" had to take risks.

They might have risked everything they owned to move somewhere, or they might have gambled at getting a role in a show, or whatever. They might have did something illegal or unethical to get someone's attention. And...sometimes it works out.

Do you think 10 years and a 500K fine would curtail future risk takers?

I don't.

I wouldn't recommend anyone ever all 911, but I don't know if 10 years in prison would stop someone who is desperate and hopes to make millions.

I hope they do a thorough investigation to see if some producer put them up to it.

Now....THAT would provide the deep pockets to pay for all the damages.

What was I thinking. We shouldn't punish these folks we should reward them. Yeah let's just give them slaps on the wrist and say to them Bad Boy Bad Girl now don't do that again. Why punish bad ways.

Have a hunch that's exactly what's gonna happen. The producers will pay all fines and court costs and the couple will have their very own reality show.

Get used to their names, we'll be seeing them for a while.

(I had to get my wife to explain who Jon and Kate were, I honestly had no idea. For that matter, I had to ask my hair care professional who Kim Kardasian was and why she was famous.)

I wonder if "Balloon Boy" will be a popular Halloween costume. this year.

All You gotta do is take a jiffy pop popcorn container and take and poke You a 5/16 inch hole in the top of it pour out popcorn kernals and then take Your mouth and blow air into it making it expand and then place a tuna can on botton and affix it to a flat topped hard hat. Then take a box and open both ends and fold the flaps on one side in and leave the other flaps outside and step into it and raise it up to belt level and finally take and secure said box to ones belt and volla You TOO can go as Balloon Boy. Just remember to have another box for Your trick or treats.

Larry,

Of course....cats will be following you all night....

I am pissed because the boy wasn't in the balloon
