Here’s A Clue
Hoax. Duped. Taken for a ride. I believe all of these apply to the Heene family who are in the news a great deal these days. The media must be feeling a bit singed now that it has been released that the “Balloon Boy” was a total fabrication to get the Heene family back into the spotlight.
I watched part of Entertainment Tonight last night as they attempted to knock on the Heene’s door for an interview. You could see the media lined up across the street watching as ET knocked without getting a response. Although I didn’t see the initial broadcasts regarding “Balloon Boy”, I have followed things since the balloon landed finding no one on board. I did not know at the time who Mr. Heene was nor that he had been on a reality television show. I really don’t care about reality television as it is as far away from reality as Snow White.
As I watched the various segments of the news which covered this story, things didn’t seem right to me. I believe the first time my head didn’t seem to wrap around this properly was hearing what seemed two different locations the seven-year-old was hiding in. The first I heard, Falcon was found hiding behind some boxes in the family garage. Than there was a turn around and it was reported that he was hiding up in the attack. It seems that each time the news story airs, there is something new, a different twist to what has happened and why. Friends and former colleagues of Mr. Heene stating they believed from the very first news cast that this was a hoax and just another attempt of Mr. Heene to get into the news.
I had heard about the segment of NBC’s Today show where young Falcon vomited. I pulled the video on-line and watched it. I was totally appalled that the child sat there vomiting and his father just made faces like he didn’t want to be anywhere near the vomit and was grossed out from the ordeal. This, in my opinion, is not how a caring, loving father should react when his young son gets ill. Had he suggested stopping the interview to see to the child, then I, perhaps, would have had second thoughts about his current situation.
The “question box” for the media was yet another mind-boggling event. It seemed Mr. Heene was doing everything he could to be on camera as he could. And the entire time, the media fed his cravings. They gave him exactly what he wanted. They gave him air time to show he is still around and will be back in the spot-light when ever he wants.
Here’s a clue people, leave his front door. Let the authorities deal with him. He will be charged, misdemeanors, but still he will be charged. If you continue to feed his unbalanced cravings to be on camera in even the smallest way, he WINS. Pack up and move out. Yes, this post is about Mr. Heene, but I will not add his name to my tags which would inadvertently bring him even more publicity. I really do believe that the media is the biggest problem now, GO AWAY and LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!
