Offbeat: Balloon Boy hugged by his dad: The fakest hug you’ll see all night

  • Look at all the passion Balloon Dad put into that hug, located at 1:24 in this video. It’s like he might have done it for the purpose of a stunt! We’re not geniuses over here, but we’ve seen real hugs before and that is NOT a real hug. Balloon Boy deserves better than that. Because he was stuck in a freaking attic! source

Culture, Politics: The Mancow waterboarding stunt was just that – a stunt

  • I know nothing about waterboarding. I had never done it before, I have no formal training in it, and I’ve never had it done to me. The only thing I knew was what I saw on the internet.
  • Klay South • The man who performed an act of “waterboarding” on Mancow. He said he faked it to raise money and gain publicity for his organization, Veterans of Valor, which helps wounded vets. Both he and radio host Mancow were very quick to admit that the whole thing was a hoax. Great job, guys! Maybe Keith should get back his money. • source
