October 15th’s unidentified flying popcorn was brilliant. I have spent a few days trying to come up with something that could hold all the cable news stations hostage for over 2 hours… and failed. It had everything – some whacked out flying thing floating on and on, a cut little child’s life in danger, and utter disbelief that something this strange could happen.
As I sat watching the news unfold on the various cable news networks Thursday afternoon, eating my lunch and flipping back during commercials on ESPN, I never once thought to myself, there’s no way that volume of helium could carry a child. The only thing I could think of was, I gotta see how this turns out. After I saw the lame conclusion, I switched back to ESPN, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how everyone and their mother were going to be talking about it for days.
And now reports are coming out about how it was all a hoax and the father is a felon. Maybe someone should hire him because although he may be insane, it helped out the cable news ratings.
