"balloon boy"

For the first time in my life, I was glad to be at work and banned from using the internet for outside contact (long story). I come home, and the entire country was transfixed on a floating balloon? Don't people, y'know, think it would be a good idea to check the veracity of the statement of small children, before chasing a damn balloon across the land? It just baffles me... this shouldn't have even been a blip on the radar, but here it was, the top story across the nation.

Also semi-related: kid doesn't even deserve a badass name like Falcon. Should have been named Timmy O'Toole.
