@geneven: if it were me, I'd ask the kid to explain what he meant on camera. "OMG They're onto us!" wouldn't be the first thing that came to my mind.

Nope... that child is being exploited enough as it is... it was said earlier that the grip on what was real and what's TV is tenuous at best for a kid his age.


BTW, I didn't know there was a reality show involved.

Well here's the dialogue:

Dad: "Did you hear us calling your name at any name?"
Falcon: "Uhuh"
Dad & Mom: "You did?!"
Dad: "Why didn't you come out?"
Falcon: "Um.. you guys said.. that, um... we did this for the show."
Dad: "*pause* ....Yeahmmm..."
Mom : *inaudible*
Dad: "You didn't, ummm.. come out?"
Falcon: "No."
Dad: "*BIG SIGH*"

The boy answered completely in context.

Still I think you can look at it both ways... it seems that in this family they do a lot of stupid things "for the show" and maybe the boy learned that to be an universal excuse.
It doesn't have to be the father making a publicity stunt or something. There's a real danger that they could get sued or even take their children away.

Poetic justice.

If it turns out that the father (most likely suspect) orchestrated this....he's finished - hand him a revolver with one hot chamber.

Whether it was the kids idea, or whether he was knowingly involved, it doesn't matter....he's too young to be held culpable.

You're free and clear, use your new lease on life wisely
It was probably his own admission of his poorly judged statement?

I never made a joke about a dead kid. I specifically stated that it was the surreal situation that tickled my dark sense of humor.

Yet the sissyfied panty-moistening narcissism just had to boil over in some people. Such lamers.

Fun's fun, Hogwash, but just letting you know: this forum is very tolerant of poster attitude, but you're pushing it with the ad hominem attacks. Not really the hallmark of someone "smarter than 99% of the population", is it?

Cool it.

You might want to look up "ad hominem" sometime.

Could you please point out were I mentioned you made a joke about a dead kid? I merely pointed out your poor judgement which you also acknowledged? Right?

Back in your hole !
