Oh Dear...

So...if he went up...does that mean eventually he'll just...come down? How do you get a hot air balloon to land anyway, let alone a *home-made device*?

Moose, I totally agree. I was very disappointed.

I just came here to post this, because I live in Denver. So I guess it's big news everywhere now!This is the craziest story I've ever seen.

From all the rave reviews I heard, "I Love You Man" was definitely a let-down. I was expecting much more.

J&K10910 · October 2009

I say they shoot it down. That can't be anymore dangerous than an unattended 6 year old drifting along in a homemade hot air balloon, right?

That movie was horrible.

laladypoet · October 2009

if the kid dies up there, an open box of baking soda is a cure-all. it'll get rid of the smell, AND the grief.

ggmae · October 2009

They are saying on the news that they aren't 100% sure he's in there. They can't find him, but say that there is a chance he got scared when he knew he had done something wrong and is hiding.

It's moving pretty fast right now... Oh now they think he might have fallen out...

bbyckes · October 2009

I thought I Love You Man was hilarious. Laughed out loud and often. The only thing that weirded me out about the movie was that they never showed the Bride's side of the family. Not disappointed at all.

salt78 · October 2009

Maybe they should check under his bed or in the closet before making such grand accusations.

WTF?!We went on a hot air balloon ride this summer and the pilot had to pull on the gas to shoot fire up into the balloon to keep it at the altitude he wanted it. When he stopped pulling that gas thing, the balloon would go down a bit. A balloon wouldn't just go up and up by itself without the kid giving it gas, but who knows about a homemade one. There's no telling.

Oh my god. Can they sterilize the parents once this is over?

Wow. Really? So they're just assuming he's in the hot air balloon? Excellent parenting. Fantastic. Models for everyone out there raising kids or considering raising kids.I also laughed at Tide's Up reference.And I'm trying to remember what movie had the guy floating around on a lawn chair tied to helium balloons. I believe it was also kinda sucky.

alixzafiris · October 2009

Okay wait... maybe that was the wrong sentiment. Er... that was funny Lala!

vicmo5 · October 2009

Cacoffer, that also weirded me out about that movie. I thought the beginning was potentially funny and then half way through had given up all hope. I don't even know why we finished it.

kate51485 · October 2009

quick definition of DED, please?

BecW2be · October 2009

That poor little boy. Can you imagine how scared he is? How in the hell can they even get near it without bursting it or blowing it further away? It can stay in the air for 12 hours. Is there any oxygen in it? What stupid, stupid people. I hope he did accidentally unleash it and then hide somewhere on the ground. I can't see this ending well if he's up in that thing.

The National Guard is sending out a helicopter now. Winds are about 15-25 mph. Link to local news if you're interested:http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=125161&catid=339

mandysmear · October 2009

double you. tee. eff.I heard I love you Man sucked so when I saw it I had zero expectations so therefore thought it was alright. I loved Sidney wearing uggs and shorts on venice beach.Back to the child though. Oh my god. I cannot believe that.

kikibaby · October 2009

OMG- they were on WifeSwap!!

jessjo04 · October 2009

KIKI- Go run under the balloon and catch him if he falls out! You're our only hope.

ggmae · October 2009

Bec - One pilot on the news says that it can stay up in the air "indefinitely." I hope he's wrong.

alixzafiris · October 2009

DED is just another spelling of "dead" used for really funny sh!t online. As in, that was so funny I nearly died laughing etc...

tidetravel · October 2009

DED. OMG Alix - I just snorted and laughed so loud that I had to play it off as a combination sneeze/cough fit.

OMG- they were on WifeSwap!!Really!? were they those UFO-chasing, alien-loving people?

danieliza1127 · October 2009

This family was on Wife Swap. Nice.

wadingmoose · October 2009

The man-uggs made me laugh and think of Fishy and Alix.Howsabout we look at taking this child away from his irresponsible parents. You know, if he survives their stupidity long enough.
