Balloon Boy's terrible "music" video


Falcon Heene, aka Balloon Boy, captured our hearts, our minds, our intense rage last week as we all watched the tumbling weather balloon, wondering whether he'd end up a splat on a mountaintop or whether he was hiding in the bushes.

Alas, he flew too close to the sun. Metaphorically speaking, that is.

Now that all of America hates the Heene family for perhaps the most ill-advised publicity stunt in recent years, it's time to heap more scorn upon them in the hopes that the term "reality television star" will once and for all cease to be a word ever again uttered by the human tongue.

Here we have a bizarrely psychotic "music" video starring Balloon Boy and his fellow Heene-spawn wherein they decry being a... well... it's probably better if I don't write it. Watch and see, but be forewarned, there's some blue-ish language (if you can even understand it) and some god-awful rap-rock involved. I'm not sure which is more offensive, honestly.

About the author
The Internet: It's like your parents. It cares for you, feeds you, lets you sleep in its bed when you're awake at night... it's always there. Our solemn mission at "Thank you, Internet" is to give it a phone call once in a while, compliment it on its watercolor drawings and buy it birthday cards - metaphorically speaking, of course. Your job is to sit back and enjoy our frenzied attempts to celebrate said Internet, in all it's weirdness, utility and blatant stupidity. By the end of your visit, you too will be saying, "Thank you, Internet."

For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
