I think the Balloon Boy family should get their own reality show

[Nikki Stone1]

They're just perfect for that insane, exploitative medium.

1. LOL! Come on. The Heenes fit it so well.

:)

[fizzgig]

2. i am so tired of them

they live in my city and i can't read the local rag without seeing some asinine shit about them

3. At the very least

when dad goes to prison, MSNBC should do a "Lock Up: Tower Defense!" to show how Balloon Boy Dad navigates the hallways and cellblocks and misses all the darts and tacks and monkey glue.

4. I beg to differ

It would make them think the plot really worked, and spawn imitators. The judge shoulda sentencened the parents to mantain at least 100' between them and a video camera.

9. P.T.Barnum pulled all kinds of crap, and people paid to have their fingers pulled

I see no difference here.

5. Only if on CSpan and called the Republican plan for the middle class.

6. Nope.. the judge forbade them to "profit" from their scam

and technically, the little stunt on Larry King, might even be against the ruling.. free airfare..free hotel..meals..a "paid vacation"..and all because of the stunt..

16. that's profiting in my book....

7. They'll probably have a show where

Tiger Woods, Jon Gosslein and Balloon Dad sit around whining about what jerk offs they are. It could be called Biggest Losers.

[Nikki Stone1]

8. Everyone would watch it how ever

And they'd sell lots of commercial time.

I don't think we've heard the last of this family.

10. Poor Falcon Heene.

Thanks to his parents' stupid stunt, he will, probably for the rest of his life -- be known as "Balloon Boy". Maybe it isn't all bad, though -- maybe when he gets older he will capitalize on it and have a reality show of his own.

12. Name recognition is everything.

The kid will be fine.

[arcadian]

11. rec - Who's gonna deny somebody their life's dream?

:rofl:

[KG]

13. a show about the parents' life behind bars might be amusing...

[NYC_SKP]

14. Heene now claims that it Wasn't A Hoax!!! On Good Morning America last week...

...I couldn't believe it.

They should revisit his plea bargain.

:mad:

[spanone]

15. perfect, cause there's nothing real about them

they're well past their fifteen minutes

their sale date has expired

[Nikki Stone1]

17. There's nothing real about most "reality shows" and "stars" often stay way past their 15

So what's the difference?
