By now you’ve no doubt heard about Balloon Boy, or Falcon Heene, depending on whether you’ve decided to learn this name. You also probably know that he and his freak show family were on the hit/god awful television show Wife Swap. While I use “Freak Show,” in the kindest terms possible, I’m certain it would have been in this kid’s best interest to actually hop in that balloon and float away to a new family.
Here’s an article about his crazy ass family.
Now here’s an excerpt from that article:
According to the ABC ‘Wife Swap’ website, the family sleeps in their clothes so they can leap from bed and run after a storm (they are storm chasers) at any given moment. The site also describes a “flying saucer” that sounds like the one that ultimately came back to earth Thursday.
Now here are my questions:
Honestly, how long does it take to put on clothes? Also, are the clothes you go storm chasing in the same ones you have to wear the next morning? Wouldn’t it be easier to just set aside the storm chasing clothes on a table in your room? What kind of air conditioning bills must his family have to keep the house cool enough to sleep in heavy, storm chasing clothes? After this guy “makes love” to his wife on any given Wednesday, does he throw on the storm chasing clothes before he goes to bed? Or, does he plow in the storm chasing clothes, and stick his weiner through the fly hole?
Most importantly, here is a music video that the family made prior to Falcon not floating away in a balloon and captivating the nation:
