lol I highly doubt the parents will serve jail time. they need time in the loony bin more than they need jail time. you can bet they will be paying out their ass for this one.
Do you have no soul? Give the kid a break. He's only 6 and you're ragging on him about his grammar? I thought he had very good handwriting for a 6 year old kid.
Seems like legal proceedings to recover the funds spent on the rescue attempt would be a waste. In all likelihood, the costs of the legal battle would be more than any amount of money the government agencies could actually recover from the family as it seems they are basically insolvent.
I heard a comment from one of the Colorado officials this morn on the radio. Talking about the guy's intellect, he said something to the effect of "people referring to him as a nutty professor are wrong. He's certainly nutty. But he's no professor." LOL Rashmon. "lock up" or "oz" sound about right!
MY SOUL flew away in a BALLOON last week... but then you opened up the hatch and it wasn't in there... my wife screamed at me for not holding on to the balloon.
Wow, that’s really profound. I never thought of it that way. LOL. Seriously, this story just keeps getting better and better. I can’t BELIEVE there are people here who actually want it to go away. I want no such thing. Haven’t you ever followed a story that was just so incredibly STUPID on so many different levels that you just couldn’t get enough? I mean besides the Texans 2004 season… Weird dad builds gigantic jiffy pop replica with foil and duct tape, then lets it go and says his kid is in it. Balloon falls to the ground and the people on the ground inexplicably start shoveling dirt onto it. Bizarre rap video featuring all 3 weird kids and their loony parents shows up on YouTube. Boy is found back at the house. Family goes on TV to say it wasn’t a hoax and kid admits it WAS a hoax on live TV. Kid actually pukes on live TV the next 3 times he’s asked the question. In his prime, Mel Brooks couldn’t have come up with a more inane timeline of events. It’s just full of so much FAIL, I actually can’t wait to see what happens next!
seriously?! i haven't watch any footgate. I heard it on the radio thursday afternoon, but never followed up with it over the weekend.
I can picture this becoming a major Hollywood movie with Will Ferrell playing the Dad role, and maybe a few of the Jon and Kate Plus 8 kids playing the role of the kids. I can just see it now, Will Ferrell spouting out nonsense about meteorology and alien lifeforms while his crazy wife beats him over the head with a frying pan and the kids are in the background break dancing to some old Rap videos.
Hey, I have a high school diploma too. Does that make me a scientist? I smoke a lot of weed so i guess I can qualify for as a Botanist.
Yeah, if you look though this thread (which in and of itself is pretty entertaining), I think you can find all the videos I mentioned. I got a Will Ferrell vibe from the Dad when I saw that Wife Switch clip. Who is that character he plays that has some kind of disorder where he is unable to talk without SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS?
^ I believe Kevin Spacey would do best as the father ("Don't interrupt me."), with Winona Ryder as the mom.
