Seriously the stupidest thing I've seen the media latch on to in a long time. I heard one reporter comment after it was all over that 'this won't be over for awhile' and there'll be 'much more to uncover' and a local reporter here even said 'we tracked down that the father once lived in Burbank (suburb of L.A.)....and I'm disgusted with myself for even watching that long.

Did I say disgusted, I mean proud.

And I remember, I was glued to my desk at work watching the whole thing live baby!

It's stupid now, but I was seriously very concerned for the safety of that child when his wherabouts were unknown. Glad he's safe, and I hope his parents beat the living crap out of him for making everyone go through that.

It was very entertaining watching this balloon float around. Definately glad the child was not in it at the time. Could have been a very bad outcome.

So was it some stupid hoax? What's wrong with people!

I hope that is not the case, but the family has been on the show "Wife Swap" two times before. I hope this wasn't just another chance for them to get on tv in the most shameful way possible.

Just looking at the dad makes me want to punch his eyes closed. Don't know why, it just does.

Shoot, I throw up on the Today show every morning, and nobody cares about me!

At first it was a human interest story. It showed that we care about the well being of others. Why it is still being discussed by the media now does show a lot. I agree that there are a lot of other things that the media needs to put first.
