he just flew over Denver int'l.

Can anybody out there see him?

I hope a super mario balloon runs into him.

not Frostin funny this is happening

Not funny? I think you have forgotten what site you are on. Maybe you should relocate to concernedmothers.com or something. We like the funny. Telling us not to be funny because this is serious isn't gunna fly. This kid on the other hand is.

...until a mario blimp eats him and gets bigger.

turn on CNN, you POS

jeez is that cop still wearing a banana clip in her hair? There's my funny...

Little hard at work.

Little hard without cable.

Little hard without caring.

Wait. Uhh yeah, this is funny as hell.

That kid has probably pissed and Shakespeare himself dry at this point. Assuming that a lot of his waste has either evaporated or fallen through the cracks of the basket, his buoyancy has increased. This kid is a goner.

You may need to try harder if you want one of those sweet t-shirts with the gang signs on it.

What site I'm on? Even the crap funny people of this site knew better when 911 happened. (this isn't 911, but damn@!)

Actually, I think this kid deserves the T-shirt. It's a pretty sweet prank. I bet John could appreciate it.

Comparing this to 9/11 is absolutely ridiculous. 9/11 affected the lives of thousands of people and started a war.

Hey there, blimpy boy! Flying through the air so fancy free.

I take back all the crap I said about religion!

I do believe in spooks, I do, I do, I do!!!

The kids dad probably told him to go get high and he misunderstood.

Live police scanner feed here.

Look like law enforcement has this well under control.

And you just know the kid was too stupid to remember to bring water balloons and/or dog Shakespeare with him.

What a waste of stealing a hot air balloon.

He thought God lived in the clouds, so he thought he'd pay him a visit.

Either way this ends, it looks like he's gunna get his wish.

just softly landed!

in a field. The PoPo are all over it

The PoPo's are beating the mushroom!?!

Apparently the boy's last name is "Falcon".


Convenient.

no kid??????????? WTF?

I got stressed for nothing? I'm suing the kid for churning my stomach acid for no good damn reason. And the parents for not inviting US to their weird mushroom flying experiement (sp?)


Who wants to go on a magical mystery tour?

Maybe the kid already fell.


Perfect Dismount!

Mung, you are SOO awesome hot to me right now. If I promise to blow your mind, will you promise to taze me while I do it?

Was it the Thunderballoon? One kid enters, no kid leaves?

They think he fell out somewhere. I'm checking out the story on CNN and they probably haven't ruled out UFO's either.

Sorry, the princess is in another castle.

Maybe the kid already fell. Perfect Dismount!

The Chinese judge didn't like the landing so they only gave him a 7.5. Personally I think he stuck the landing.

I find it funny that you panic because a kid is missing in the balloon. Then the plane lands, kid still missing, and you are no longer worried that the kid is still nowhere to be found.

Hmmm... let's use a little reasoning and common sense here instead of reacting in panic and terror... If I just let my dad's giant balloon project go, would I be wandering around out in plain view? I don't think so. I'd go hide in the clock like Webster.

Actually, when he got up near the clouds, they parted and a brilliant light shone down on little Falcon and his balloon... and from heaven, Michael Jackson snatched him up... out of "love".

What exactly makes you think Michael Jackson is in heaven? God strikes me as more of a thrash metal fan.

God strikes me as more of a thrash metal fan.

And less of a child molester fan.

Sorry, I take it back. I forgot about the priests.

Sorry, I take it back. I forgot about the priests

I didn't. The way I saw it is that if he's white and he's a child molester then it must be that God hates his music and sent him to get a tan in hell.

Exactly my thoughts. I think if he had fallen out, it would have had to be at the beginning of the flight before he had hundreds of people watching the balloon who would have seen him fall. In the beginning, there were a few minutes when the older boy ran to tell the parents that the little one was pulling a Goodyear. That in itself would narrow down the area in which they might find the rumpled heap of boy on the ground. All the reports I have read say that they've thoroughly searched the whole area close to the house, which in my opinion, would mean they won't be finding a boycake. I'm with Gonzo. The kid jumped out shortly after it started off the ground, knew he was neck deep in trouble, and hid. He won't be coming out until he's ravenously hungry.

Seems like a crazy family. Wife swap, sleeping in clothes, storm chasers.

Are you 12?, really?

Although I may have "hollered' what was going on initially, the ending is "I'm minding my business, mind yours".

Jay Martel is so committed to safety that he runs a child-proofing business

Well, it works... This kid is being child-proofed.

Balloon-proofed, too. In fact, I would say that he's pretty immune to life at this point!

*turns in his chair to the weatherman*

Ravos?

A search party has gone looking for the boy.

Oh, crap. There is a 6 YOA floating in the air!

What does the A in 6 YOA stand for? Is it a typo or are you calling him an Emerson?

Hey Pram, come sit right here.

The kid may have been found alive, but we all know what really happened.

By the way, thank you for getting the old Van Halen song, "Jump" stuck in my head dasypy.

jump. JUMP! Might as well jump.

Are you 12?, really? Although I may have "hollered' what was going on initially, the ending is "I'm minding my business, mind yours".

No, I'm really not 12.

And you're telling me to mind my own business when you obviously weren't minding yours, considering you posted this in the first place. The topic of this thread of course being somebody else's business.

And the kid was found hiding in the attic. Apparently they never thought of searched the house first before raising these alarms and making national news.

So then we were right to put it on a comedy website and laugh at it? That's great, I was really having a crisis of conscience there.

Wait. No I wasn't.

I'd feel pretty dumb right now if I was hairy kari gal, the American news media, or anyone living in Colorado.

Or Carrot Top. 'Cause he looks like crap.

I knew that family looked familiar! They've been on Wife Swap twice, according to Nightline. I only saw them the first time they were on because I stopped watching that show. The father is a douchebag, but I think that's a prerequisite for pretty much every man on that show.

Yeah what's up with that? Did he tell his plastic surgeon "I want to look like an ugly, roided up lesbian"? He's as ugly as his act is now.

So since we can't laugh at a dead kid we can still laugh at hairy kari, right?

The father is a douchebag, but I think that's a prerequisite for pretty much every man on that show not knowing where your kid is.

Richard Heene adamantly denied the notion that the whole thing was a big publicity stunt. "That's horrible after the crap we just went through. No." During a live interview with CNN, Falcon said he had heard his family calling his name. "You did?" Mayumi Heene said. "Why didn't you come out?" Richard Heene said. Falcon answered, "You had said that we did this for a show." Later, Richard Heene bristled when the family was asked to clarify and said he didn't know what his son meant. He didn't ask his son what he meant by "a show."



oh snap.

Wow, this prank got more publicity than the superbowl prank.

John's got some competition!

The kid hurled during an interview with Meredith what's-her-name on The Today Show this morning. A high point in NBC's fall programming!

I thought it was their Shakespearety programming that induced involuntary vomiting. Apprently I was only slightly mistaken.




...its completely voluntary.

I'm getting a strong feeling of deja vu here. Wasn't there some other idiot chick here a couple of years ago who was always wanting us to pray for babies who fell down wells and telling us what things weren't laughing matters?

Whoever that was, at least they were correct in telling us that the baby fell down a well. Daisypie2 has failed on all accounts. Spectacular!

I'd feel pretty dumb right now if I was hairy kari gal, the American news media, or anyone living in Colorado.

Why should I break precedence?

Oh crap, I just looked outside and I think the sky is falling!!


...never mind

Oh crap, I just looked outside and I think the sky is falling!! ...never mind

Naw, that's just the kid falling out of the blimp.


...never mind, that was a hoax.

Now the kid is puking on live tv because his tummy is full of dirty dirty lies.

That is just beautiful!

That youtube link will probably be taken down later, so here's the footage direct from NBC but you may have to sit through a commercial and a recap of Balloon Day's events.

Way better splatter on the second link, anyway. Start at 5:50.

Maybe the kid ate a mouse and is just upchucking the skeleton. Falcons are known to do that.

Bad ass video.

If only Bushnell made tools that transparent.

Holy crap that's awesome. I love to look on the dad's face. You can tell he is thinking:
1. I screwed up real bad.
2. I'm busted.
3. They are going to charge me for this.
4. My son just threw up in my lap on national tv and I'm a media whore.
5. Someone hand me a gun.
