Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
It has been ten years since the 'Balloon Boy' hoax. This hoax was when a father in Fort Collins made a bogus 911 call claiming his six-year-old son climbed into a homemade weather balloon and flew away. Now ten years later that boy, Falcon Heene, talks to us about this special occasion. #FredWillard Jennifer Aniston Doesnt Know Why She Joined Instagram

I missed this 10 year anniversary clip, but do remember the Richard Heene story because Myumi and Richard were in my Acting Class at Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles. It was in this class that Myumi and Richard met, fell in love and later married. He tried multiple producing projects in LA always trying to get a show going but the spookiest part about Richard is he hasn't changed a bit. Part scammer but ambitious. However, when I heard the news about this original story, I just shook my head and said, yeah, that's Richard up to his old tricks. Not surprised that he put his kids up to this and Myumi is a blind follower, love her, but a blind follower.

Oh, Kimmel. After watching the Internet Historian's take on this, it's become evident that Jimmy Kimmel is the other side of the same coin as Fox's sensationalist train.
You could have spun truth into that and spearheaded a focus on information validity and poke fun at how the media hype train derailed a real story of injustice. So much potential in that material, but instead, you stuck with the garbage skit we just saw.
Hopefully, your writers see this post and take a quick peek at the Internet historian's take on it. It's a depressingly shitty situation with police and media funking things up.

Would you please do some fking research instead of spilling out garbage lies that almost ruined a family just so you can get a fking laugh. if you ever did some research on stuff like this maybe you could actually help a family get the truth out instead of building on the lies of your crooked justice system.

This is tragic, this family's life was ruined because they where in a panic that there son could have been in a life threatening situation. Anyone who actually wants to hear more than a few punchy head lines and jokes about this story should watch Internet Historian's multiple videos on it. Including one where the father presents evidence that shows police falsified testimonials and questioned the children without permission.

Jimmy Kimmel Wth? The family did not stage this and yeah they even did jail time for it, their life was ruined enough and you want to bring this up and mock them after all these years again? Im not even a fan but this is so disappointing of you. You dont even know the real story you probably just made their life hell lot worse than the police and the media did back then smh.
reply

The fact that you use this case as comedy, and treat it as a hoax, even though there is SO MUCH PROOF that this case was so badly treated, so illegally treated and the family was so strongly pushed by corrupt officials to declare that they did SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DO shows how shitty your show and you are.
reply

So many people with the right idea to watch Internet historians video unfortunately theres no way that the media will every listen to the truth. Hopefully one day some media will accept the truth and with hopefully get rewarded.
reply

An entire family was made a laughing stock because they believed their 6 year old son might be dead and 10 years later these people are still trying to laugh off their blatant lies and lazy journalism. You should be ashamed.

Its hilarious how the kid somehow gets heavier each time the media talks about him, first 37 pounds, second 50 pounds now 60 pounds. Can't wait for the 20 years later video when the 100 pound kid is brought up.
reply

This video is actually disgusting. It's going right back to what the media always does, hooks off of one thing and doesn't even bother to look into it again. This really stresses how underdone this show is.
