Sometimes when you wake up in the morning and turn on the news, you see a headline that defies expectation. When I went to sleep last night, I did not say to myself "the lead story tomorrow will be a 6 year old flying around in a UFO". I hope the child is safely returned to the Earth, but this can't be the only thing happening in the world right now. Surely the CBC can break away for a few minutes to report something of global relevance.
I don't want to have to watch this all day.
They landed the balloon and the child is not on board. That is too bad. Despite my apathy, I did want to see a happy resolution of the crisis. Let's start a new chapter in the "Lessons of Parenting"; don’t strap your toddlers into experimental aircraft.
ReplyDeleteI smell a publicity stunt designed by the family to get their 15 minutes. He had the country following his balloon thinking the kid was inside and the kid was never in danger. Way to jump in with the constant coverage CBC...

If it turns out to be a hoax, charges should be laid, and a bill for all costs sent to him.
Every network spent about 2 hours covering this.
