Balloon Boy

You probably all have heard about this little boy who supposedly went flying in this weather balloon that his parents had made to teach their kids about weather only to be found hiding in his attic five hours later. This boy is from my hometown so I kept an eye on the story throughout the past week. It made local and national news, and the coverage is still continuing. The media is beginning to examine the family and trying to figure out if the balloon incident was a stunt or not.

In my opinion, who really cares? The boy is safe, right? If this really is a publicity stunt where the family wants to be famous, don't cover the story on national news. Don't give them the attention they want. Let the local law enforcement figure out the intentions of the family and charge them with the misdemeanor of false reporting and move on. The national media is playing their game.

There's my rant.

p.s. The boy's name is Falcon, that's really cool right?
