How about news. Afghanistan, health care, Iraq, the recession, etc. You know...things that matter.

Daddy Balloon is F***ED

 

I'm checking my schedule to see if I can fit in a flight to Colorado to give him a kick in the teeth. A$$hole.

odds on how soon south park makes an episode involving this?

I really hope that we get a smackdown of a news agency or two by the prosecutors office, if they were really involved. Maybe this will lead to some of these groups covering actual news again.

Ah. Missed it this weekend. Assumed they already had their show set when this story broke.

Now CNN is covering the coverage of the story. Reminds me of their Pulitzer-worthy look back on their own Michael Jackson coverage.

 

What a garbage network. Why does anyone waste their time with the cable news media?

So this little "skit" resulted in this couple having the "Wife Swap" episode that was already recorded being taken off the air, the upcoming wife swap that they were to also appear in is no longer possible, and whatever reality show they were angling for will never happen now either.

 

 

Brilliant plan, Dad.

Not to mention they might end up in jail, and lose their kids.

plus fines and other expenses incurred during the incident. Im pretty sure a 911 call is quite expensive, not to mention calling the FAA
