So while Balloon boy’s father is explaining that yesterday’s incident was not a hoax, Balloon Boy deposits his breakfast all over. AND THE INTERVIEW CONTINUED…
Truly odd.

I’m really, really happy that the little boy is safe and I doubt that the ill-fated balloon flight was a hoax, but I think the family’s 15 minutes of fame should end when the Today Show broadcasts the child vomiting into a bucket on live television…

Are you kidding me? I can't believe that as soon as the kid vomited, another question was posed! What kind of idiots are in the media lately?

I don't know!! I think it might have been a hoax. They are asking the family more questions. Last night on Larry King Live when asked why he didn't come out when they were calling his name said "You said we did this for the show".
Also I just read on Fox News that that father is being investigated because of his colorful past which included owing large sums of money with links to a production company and his own personal goals of wanting to be in Hollywood.

Uh-oh. That would not be good.

Ok, I am not one to laugh at a poor kid throwing up, but that was priceless! What was the camera man thinking when he zoomed out to get more of the scene? I can't believe they didn't politely stop the interview. I just couldn't help laughing.

You know, it's irrelevant whether he faked it or not. I don't think he did, and he doesn't have a look of being happy about the situation.
From the look on the man's face, I suspect he'd rather just cut the fifteen minutes real short. I wouldn't want a second of it.
Nobody deserves something like that.

What I don't understand is why a father when your son is puking in your lap essentially you don't stop what you're doing and get the kid to the bathroom or to a bedroom to lie down. He barely misses a beat. It's all just bizarre.

criminal charges are now pending against the parent. The sheriff announced last night they will be seeking criminal charges.

I hope it tasted better going down than it did coming up.

Selfish father, jittery kid who vomits as his dad lies to the press! This should place more shame on the father, not embarrass the poor child.

It seems to me that the poor child turned his head in the wrong direction when he had to spew.

There was a time when they would have just cut to the test card…
