...it's a $20,000 fine!!
The ridiculous story of the balloon boy hoax just keeps getting better. Today, the Heene's attorney talked to the press and revealed the motivation behind the whole fiasco:
"Heene believes the world is going to end in 2012," she said. "Because of that, he wanted to make money quickly, become rich enough to build a bunker or something underground, where he can be safe from the sun exploding."
So here's a little challenge for you: how many bits of bugfuck insanity and/or logicfail can you pick out of that paragraph? I mean, holy shit. I thought the guy was just a con artist trying to get on TV. I had no idea he was COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL.
For the record, I was suspicious of the whole thing from the moment I saw the first picture of that balloon. Come on, how stupid did this guy think people are, anyway? Imagine my chagrin when I realized he was actually right - most people really ARE that dumb.

Date: Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 07:00 am (UTC)I have a cousin who is almost this.......ill judged and misled. Really sweet and highly energetic man. Sends me all sorts of conspiracy, end-of-the-world, alternate-religious stuff. I've always thought that people like him could do wonderful things if one could just point them in a good direction and apply course corrections as they stray.
