A most offensive and reprehensible hoax…

A day or two ago, some pranksters perpetrated a hoax about a 6-year-old boy getting stuck in a runaway hot air balloon circa the western US. As it turned out, however, the boy was hiding in an attic:…

I learned of this hoax while at a meeting and heard people glued to a news station hysterics as if this was 9/11/2001. It was so obvious a fraud that I just turned away in despair that intelligent people could fall for his balderdash. How convenient that a usable helium balloon was not tethered properly so that a six year old could figure out how to untether it and then would know how to get in the basket and set the balloon flying into the sky and that the dad would have constructed it so well that it could take a six year old safely into the sky but the same dad would not know enough to properly tether the balloon or to keep it safely away from his six year old son. And how convenient that the dad just happened to know how to phone the FAA and warn the FAA. Might he not have learned where to call the FAA way in advance? This whole thinks stinks to high heaven in more ways than one. And I am quite happy that I ignored it with the same indifference that I usually reserve for the New York Times.

This entire episode stank from the beginning, even before it was revealed as a fraud.

Forget that it was all bullsh*t: even if what happened was real, my first thought was, “What kind of parents let their kids do something like this?”

“What’cha doin’ up there, sonny?”

“Oh, just putting the finishing touches on a large, helium-filled balloon that can lift one of us thousands of feet in the air.”

“Oh, OK.”

My sympathy doesn’t extend to morons who would display such a la-de-da attitude toward their childrens’ safety. Anger is the order of the day for such people.

And anger is still the order of the day for them, now that it’s revealed that they recklessly if not purposely played on the emotions of others and wasted important search and rescue resources on nothing more than a mentally ill publicity stunt.

Speaking of balloon drama coverage, what a difference between today and ~65 years ago. The Japanese launched NINE THOUSAND BOMB BALLOONS at the USA/Canada, (about 1000 made it here), and virtually none of the civilian population knew anything about it at the time nor learned about it after the war was over. In contrast to yesterday, I'm guessing half the country not only knew what was happening within minutes but were WATCHING IT FIRSTHAND! Sadly, the only victims, (and the only US mainland citizen casualties in WW2!), were some little kids and a woman out in the woods for a church picnic who came across one of them and inadvertantly set it off.
