I was riveted to my computer yesterday watching local Colorado news during the whole-runaway-balloon episode. I’m so happy it turned out the boy was safe. I watched when the balloon landed and I was so sad at the thought that he had fallen out somewhere along the flight.
I really hope that the whole thing it wasn’t a publicity stunt like some are suggesting. Because that would be SO incredibly lame and make me even more cynical than I already am.
I usually don’t watch local news except sometimes for the it’s-so-bad-it’s-good entertainment factor of which this clip is a stellar example.
The crazy part of the balloon kid is that it now sounds as if they orchestrated this whole thing to get some media attention on their invention…
Oh my lord. That bear is HILARIOUS!
I like to imagine the meetings where bad ideas like this one were pitched.
I really enjoyed the bear coverage, especially with our recent neighborhood bear activity! Maybe I should get that cut out.
I will be extremely upset if the balloon family orchestrated the whole thing. I demand back the emotional energy I spent worrying about that boy! Though I guess I'll still worry about him growing up in that family…
