 You are an idiot for turning this real world scary situation into a joke.    If you was 6 years old and flying in a helium balloon 8,000 feet above ground I will bet that you would not think it very funny.  I feel very bad for this poor little guy. "

And you're an idiot for thinking that colorblind people see in black and white, but this was established in another thread. 
 
Anyways, I think my legs are still broken and my battery is down to one bar.
 
@Soap: Yeah I do somehow...thank God for my AT&AT wireless connect card amirite? "

Can we just like.. lock this thread now? I think more than enough people have proven the socially inept gamer stereotype true.

So he crawled into a box that was attached to the balloon.

Woah that is crazy, hope he's allright.

wow that is really amazing that a kid made a balloon. it is sad that he went missing. i hope that they find him ok. it still amazing that he did that.

To show you how big a media circus this is, my grandfather knew about this on his own. He doesn't watch English TV.

I haven't read the other 4 pages, but has anyone mentioned Pixar is to blame?!

" wow that is really amazing that a kid made a balloon. it is sad that he went missing. i hope that they find him ok. it still amazing that he did that. "

" HOLY SHIT THIS CANT BE REAL!!!! "

I was looking around to see if there were any other important news stories, but apparently...there's not.

Lock this disgusting shit.

The kid's name was Falcon, the parents were on Wife Swap and they had a giant balloon in their backyard? What an amazing story.
 
Just fuelling the fire of the media circus, but let us not overlook the fact that is this kid could be in some danger.

Its too bad he fell... Man, 6 years old...

Oh shit the box fell

The kid could be dead. I don't think that's very funny. 
 
If this was all turned out to be a hoax then that would be kind of funny.

That CNN meteorologist seems to be full of himself.

I'm not reading 5 pages: Sum this up for me in bullet points.

CNN was covering a kid that accidentally got in his dads makeshift weather balloon flying around in the sky. When the balloon came down, the kid wasn't in it anymore. it sounds like he may have fell out of the balloon at a high altitude "

haha I lvoe everyone freaking out at the people who think this is funny, go yell at ryan too  " taswell No kid with in the balloon is maybe the best possible outcome for this. Hilarious waste of cable news time. "

He's alive at home.

They found him, he untethered the blimp thing and when he realized what he did he was scared he would get in trouble so he hid in attic or something.

Well, Ryan has admitted he's a dick many times before. "

He was found...at home....what a waste of time and space......Jesus Christ......

Kid was found in his house hiding in a box.

See, now it is funny. CNN wasted hours of their time covering something really stupid.

I understand, as many have pointed out in this thread, that this is a complete waste of time. However, I am relieved the kid is OK.
 
I guess that makes me a pussy for caring about random kids? Huh.

Death penalty?

Why didn't anyone look in the garage? I mean they take the word of his brother without skepticism.....huh

oh man that kid is in trouble, and same goes for the sibling who said he saw him climb into the balloon, and later that thought he saw someone fall out of it haha

It was the sheriff or officer who said they saw something fall out. It is not hte kids fault for being scared.

Figured he wasn't actually on it. But didn't they say several times that they searched the house top to bottom?
 
He was in a cardboard box the whole time and no one found him... he's Solid Snake.

I lol'd

This entire event was a coverup for an actual alien mothership landing on the other side of Denver.

" I bet he is just hiding and afraid that his parents are upset that he let the thing go. "

Poor kid. 
 
I mean what sort of sadistic parent names their kid "Falcon"?

Hey, the U.N. said today that one billionpeople are going hungry across the world.
 
OMGZ! CHILD IN BALLOON! GET TWENTY CAMERA'S, ASSEMBLE THE TALKING HEADS STAT! WE GOT AT LEAST TEN HOURS TO FILL ON OUR 24 HOUR NEWS STATION TODAY!

So what's his punishment gonna be?
I say put him in another balloon.
 
Oh yeah, this was funny the entire time btw. 
I don't care for people in general. I care less about stupid people.
