Anonymous Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 What do you think about it. If you don't know what Ballon Boy is this is a short story: Somewhere in California balloon (with helium) gone wild! (SAVE YOURSELF!). Than father (or 1 of his sons; I don't remember) claimed that his 6 years son, Falcoln, is in this balloon. Press and television were alarmed. After tracking balloon for some time, it finally fallen down. But as it turned out? There was no baby in the ballon! They made it quite possible that chaild falen of the ballon. After some time (same day) they found Falcoln hinding in a box in their garrage(LOL). When he was asked why he didn't come out when they were looking for him (shouting his name etc.) he said that he didn't wanted to get punishment for what he did earlier (before the ballon-story). Falcoln become on of the greatest World-wide Trolls of our time, and become Insta-meme.

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 It was in the newspaper I read this morning. It's kind of sad. Not that the kid was being tortured, but that the people who searched for the kid actually wasted time to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 When I heard the flash at the radio about people following a balloon, I said "Lemme guess. There is someone attached to the balloon". And then the radio said that a kid was inside the balloon. Then I said "I don't think that kid is actually there". After some minutes, the radio said the balloon was empty. I said "I knew it! Like when Bart Simpson fell to the well". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG. Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I just heard, when they were interviewed, the dad asked Falcon why he hadn't come out when they called for him. Then Flacon said "Dad, you said it was for show." I lol'ed so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 The fact that they called the news stations before the police makes it a pure attention-grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womi Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Meh, this family fails at attention seeking. How should a child float in a balloon? WTF? That's physically impossible! And why do they call their child Falcoln? That's an a$$-sucking name for this little retard. This family should be ashamed of themselves and banned from publicity for good.
