The Balloon Boy thinks Oklahoma City girls have big breasts…

12:00 PM EDT on October 16, 2009

First of all, let me correct the headline.  It's not Balloon Boy who mumbles "Oklahoma City girls have big boobs" in the YouTube video below.  I think it's one of his brothers.  Fast forward to about the 1:00 minute mark and you'll see what I'm talking about.

What type of parents would force their kids to make in a YouTube video like the one above?  I'll tell you what type: the ones who forget to tie down the giant metal balloon in the backyard!

Seriously, what a bizarre story! You have action (crazy out-of-control balloon), sorrow (six year old trapped in balloon), relief (boy is okay), and anger (the whole thing was probably a hoax).  Hell, once the balloon landed I half way expected for a door to slide open and for a robot named Max to ask for his Navigator.
