The Heartbreaking Saga of Balloon Boy Continues, Sadly
Well here we are day one ABB (After Balloon Boy), and America’s innocence continues to circle the drain as Falcon Heene’s parents push he and his siblings further and further into the media spotlight. This morning the Hennes appeared on just about every morning news show known to man, causing Falcon to puke on live TV — TWICE — which in turn made me just want to cry for the poor kid.
Seriously, can someone from Child Protective Services in Colorado get their asses to the Heene home stat and investigate what the hell is going on over there? Both videos embedded below are just heartbreaking. MAKE. IT. STOP.

Editor-in-Chief:
I did not watch TV much yesterday. I dodged it somehow. I saw #BalloonBoy on Twitter, but kind of felt that it was not real. You do not see that everyday.
I just saw the video on your post. When the kid says “we did it for the show” it is like a scene from a movie. It reminded me of when the kid is talking next to Michael Jackson in that British documentary. The kid says some things about him and MJ sleeping together. MJ has a look on his face like “I thought this kid was cool, but HE IS NOT!”
When the kid throws up, your heart goes out to him. This is just a sad story.
And the dad JUST KEEPS TALKING and actually ROLLS HIS EYES while his son is throwing up. What. The. Fuck. This is so disturbing.
