What a weird week it's been as far as current events go. I'm sure that by now you've heard about the Heene incident, as the balloon boy story was captured by just about every major media outlet. The Heene parents decided to call authorities to let them know that their son Falcon had been taken into the air by a homemade balloon.
This was no ordinary balloon, it was one shaped and painted like a spacecraft. Filled with helium, it quickly ascended into the air and the media chased it down, everyone having feared the worst for Falcon Heene.
When the saucer landed, it was opened up very cautiously, as no one knew the fate of Falcon. Surprisingly, he was nowhere to be found inside the saucer. Minutes later, it was revealed that Falcon had been hiding inside the family's attic.
During an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN later that night, Falcon let something very interesting slip out - that he had been hiding in the family attic "for the show". The Heenes quickly looked panicked and on edge after Wolf Blitzer questioned the family about this little slip-up.
From here, it became quite apparent that this family may have actually staged the whole thing, as they were seeking fame and media attention.
Clearly, the Heenes made the entire incident up because they wanted a reality TV show. They sacrificed the integrity of our nation's emergency system for their own gain.
Having cost authorities boat loads of money, scaring a nation, and playing around with our emergency response system, there are criminal implications that come with this behavior.
Criminal charges are expected to be filed shortly, and with good reason. This behavior was fraudulent and deserves the appropriate punishment that typically goes with that behavior. I have to feel for the innocent kids for having a set of low life parents.
