Seriously the stupidest thing I've seen the media latch on to in a long time. I heard one reporter comment after it was all over that 'this won't be over for awhile' and there'll be 'much more to uncover' and a local reporter here even said 'we tracked down that the father once lived in Burbank (suburb of L.A.)....and I'm disgusted with myself for even watching that long.

Did I say disgusted, I mean proud.

And I remember, I was glued to my desk at work watching the whole thing live baby!

It's stupid now, but I was seriously very concerned for the safety of that child when his wherabouts were unknown. Glad he's safe, and I hope his parents beat the living crap out of him for making everyone go through that.

I could see one of my children being curious and accidently climbing into a situation like that.

A lot of people are now saying the whole thing was a hoax, the parents knew where he was and told him not to come out, that it was a publicity stunt.

But think if he had been in the balloon and swept away on wind currents. He'd land somewhere around the amazon and be annointed King From the Sky....

The sad thing is that's all the major news networks could talk about this morning. Every time I turned on the news, that's what they were going over. Hours and hours of rehashing the stupid thing.

The total and complete dumbing down continues.
