Authorities were scouring the skies Thursday for a 6-year-old boy who reportedly unhooked his family's experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home.
HALP! My son flew away in the balloon we keep inflated and ready for flight in the back yard! It's silver and shaped like a UFO. It's totally radical in design. HALP!
Publicity stunt spoiler - kid was never in balloon
Dad, your balloon sucks. No one will buy this. Nice try.
This whole story is fishy... as a colorado taxpayer I'm a little miffed i gotta pay for this tomfoolery... oh yeah the kicker: when asked about punishment, the dad says 'we don't ground our children' ... i was hoping he'd follow that comment up with 'we beat them'... you should have seen the look of disappointment on my face when i realized that he'd finished his statement.
