There may be some eerie parallels between MST3K and this Balloon Boy
incident. Apparently (see
<http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g8-
DEMtAE9q4i4ySQ0eV_qZefmRQD9BE3QGO0>,
aka <http://preview.tinyurl.com/yho27ra>) the father was planning a
MAD SCIENTIST reality show!

Is it known whether the boy was (supposedly) polishing switches in the
balloon when it (supposedly) went up (supposedly) with him? ;-)

at least we don't have to wonder how he eats and breathes now....

In this proposed reality show, would the kid stuck on this balloon be
forced to watch cheesy kids shows?
