You know what's sad? A little boy falling out of a helium balloon and going splat against the Colorado landscape. You know what's not sad? A helium balloon taking off by itself while a little boy hides in an attic.
Move along, people! There's nothing to see here!
I'm a cold-hearted bastard, though. When Devon told me there was a boy trapped in a balloon and they didn't know how to get him down, my response was, "Pop it."
I was sure I had a maternal instinct laying around here somewhere.

Eh, when it's your own kid, then you'll worry. I don't have a giant helium balloon stashed in my backyard so I don't think this particular situation will ever be an issue for us.
ReplyDeleteSimon + helium balloon = disaster.
ReplyDeleteI think if you've got kids, HAVING a giant helium balloon stashed in the backyard that isn't under lock and key and giant vicious guard dog could be considered an attractive nuisance.
ReplyDeleteI felt so bad for them when I had heard about it and then POW! It's all for a show? You fuckers! It was that fast of a switch. Now, CO is thinking about suing them. So much for the show.
Few things make people angrier than realizing their compassion has been prompted by a hoax. Not the kid's fault, but his parents suck.
