I can recall only a handful of newsworthy stories that are bizarre enough to stay in my mind for a while.
The Colorado family, The Hennes "Balloon Boy" story that broke late last week has got to take the cake for bizarre stories that grabbed my attention.
In the families moments of desperation, the father advised his youngest son, Falcon Heene, to "hide" as the families flyaway air balloon floated across the sky and into the televisions of Americans across the nation.
One thing mankind can surely agree on is the compassion they have for children and when a child is deemed to be in a dangerous situation, one cannot help but feel sorry for the child and its family hoping for a positive outcome.
I am a huge sucker and this "fake" runaway balloon boy is a reminder of how my compassion gets the best of me.
After calling out local and state law enforcement to chase down the balloon in fear of the young boys life, it is reported that the boy has been safe in his home the whole time.
The family knowingly deceived the nation and law enforcement.
I believe karma will be a bitch to the parents of the Henne children.
Using children as a hoax in a scheme to win national attention for some desperate fantasy that needs fulfilling is truly disgusting.
The parents should be reprimanded for what they have done and are in my opinion, absolutely insane for taking advantage of their child and the media like this.
