After going bonkers for the Balloon Boy hoax last week, CNN,
MSNBC and Fox News today broke the news that a young boy dressed
in a wolf suit had been kidnapped by "Wild Things."
When informed that the "Wild Things" news story
was actually a movie that opened over the weekend, the media
responded, "Oops. Never mind."
Defending his network's coverage of the Colorado balloon
hoax, a CNN spokesman pointed out that the balloon was, in
fact, "extremely shiny."
Authorities now say they are preparing to file charges against
Richard Heene, an amateur scientist and inventor, and semi-professional
douche who now faces possible jail time for contributing to
the delinquency of the media.
The Balloon Boy hoax began to burst when 6-year-old Falcon
Heene vomited during a CNN interview and said to his parents,
"You guys said that we did this for the show."
Scrambling
to explain his son's apparent confession, the elder Heene
said the boy had simply become confused because the family
is simultaneously pitching several reality shows, including
"Hurricane Boy," "Publicity Whore" and
"Leave it to Falcon."
Sources say the Heenes, who previously appeared on ABC's
"Wife Swap," were also developing a project featuring
Kim Kardashian, Hulk Hogan and
former U.S. House Speaker Tom DeLay.
Fortunately, we here at Humor Gazette/Triple-Action News
had the good sense not to waste precious air time on the "Balloon
Boy" fiasco, reporting instead on Sarah
Palin's latest tweet, Glenn
Beck's latest mental breakdown and a rumor that the
Octomom plans to adopt a puppy.
