That's what I mean!

Now all of these jokes are funny! If the news had just waited to find out what happened, then everything would be cool....

The whole situation seems like a joke now....

"National media follows stray helium balloon while boy hides in attic"

I'm tellin you, the parents are shallow attention-whores, and the whole thing was a setup.

I feel it in my bones.

THAT disgusts me.

Breaking news should be reserved for things that effect everyone's lives, like wars breaking out.... It should not be used to tug on your heart strings.

I find it rather sickening overall
Sure, reporting on Jon and Kate was displaced by this silliness. A travesty.

Seriously, imo this was newsworthy and the only real irresponsibility I see is with the parents and the early jokers.

It's probably part of what the dad was trying to prove....

"you go hide in the attic, i'll call CNN"

WOW Very misleading first words, when you said breaking news i thought you were gonna follow it with "i just got my n900" or "my n900 just shipped"

Dude bummer

Remember "Last Caress" by the misfits

I've got somethin' to say
I killed your baby today and it
Doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Though I much prefer the Metallica version on Garage Days.

Ah to be a young a55hole again

Just got in and caught up.

So glad the kid's OK. Falcon the Wonder Boy lives to fly another day.

All you sissies can wring your panties out now.
