Recent update on CNN.

I did, but he looked a total pillock from the word 'go'.

This is the type of dumb shit i HATE. And you know what really pissed me off ? While the dumb ass family what getting screen time there was a report bar scrolling news of an attack in Pakistan where people had been killed yet these dumb asses get the attention.

PWNED.. made my night. I hope they get a whopping fine or even a little jail time.



OH and cant forget this one. Love it. I guess thats what happens when you put little kids under pressure in front of the world to lie .

Ive watched the videos of the two news press things where the little boy was sick....

Im wondering is it really just stress?

Or have the parents done something to make him sick to try and weasle their way out of the spot light for a conviction?

Right now, I wouldnt put it past them.

I hope those kids get better treatment.

I'll sue him for emotional upset and the waste of a perfectly good Thursday evening's television misuse.

Those poor kids, being used like that.

That's exactly what my husband said when he saw the little boy vomitting on Friday morning.

The parents just carried on with the interview as if nothing had happened. No-one tried to comfort the little boy. :frown:

... pilot one - called "Paying My Debt To Society"

I think he was on Wife Swap or something.. now an egotistical b'stard. DIA flights were rerouted and delayed b/c of his stunt.. FAA are debating whether or not to charge him too.. but so far a misdemeanor of a false report (haven't been following the story so I don't know). K-nobby.

Dakota's post sums it up well.

I heard this morning that the charges could end up leading to jail time and a hefty 6 figure fine!
Couldn't happen to a 'nicer' fella!:thumbup:

This has to be one of the stupidest events in the history of all time. Jesus H Christ. :blink:

Kid in balloon ---> no ----> kid in attic -----> kid on TV ----> kid puking on TV ----> parents in jail.


WTF???
