U.S.: Balloon Boy’s parents are probably gonna get charged

  • Great news everyone! For wasting everyone’s time, for wasting taxpayer’s money, for making internet memes, for being named Richard Heene, for embarrassing Fort Collins, for showing us Falcon’s vomit, for keeping up amused, and for eating up the news, you’re damn right the parents are gonna get charged. (But not arrested.) source

U.S.: We think the Balloon Boy got us sick; thanks for nothing, jerk

  • The ShortFormBlog staff has felt pretty cruddy all day, and we think we know why: We caught whatever the Balloon Boy had. Has anyone considered how strange it is that this kid wasn’t in school on a Thursday? This non-story makes us sick. (Warning: The kid throws up during the clip. It’s not bad throw-up, but it is throw-up. You’ve been warned.)source
