This just in: A 6-year-old boy was thought to be inside this massive experimental balloon floating above Colorado. Authorities now believe he wasn't. Phew.
No word if the buttery popcorn inside has exploded.

What is great is that the family is absolutely bonkers. I state this solely from remembering the TWO times they were on Wife Swap. I can also guarantee that you will NOT see an interview with the parents on this case. As soon as I saw the family photo, I knew who it was.
Youtube search for Heene / Wife Swap and you should easily find a few compilations.
I cannot believe this story has a happy ending. The boy is fine.

We can now make jokes about the nutty family.
Kids get stuffy. Nothing like a little balloon ride to freshen up your youngun and let him enjoy our delightful Colorado Chinook winds.
I would, so, pay $19.95 in 3 easy installments for one of those balloons! Even without the popcorn!
Awesome!
Chris Knight said this will really chap Dr. Hathaway's ass. The good news is, Kent got out in time. Now everybody wants to rule the world.
Hypothesis A: Dad is a nut and set the whole thing up for the yucks.
BTW, Go Fort Collins! Best place to live in the US (afaict). FC hasn't had this much media prescence since Geraldo came to check out the topless donut shoppe - Debbie Does Donuts.
My kind of town.
I saw the family being interviewed last night by Wolf Blitzer. After 5 minutes of listening to the Dad's hazy, confused ramblings I told myself never do anything that stupid.
Lets hope I listen.
Attention whores.
I heard this morning that when the police asked the kid why he hid in the box, he told them that his Dad wanted him to 'make it big'.
