4chan's Anonymous punks attention-whoring asshat

Undertoad · 10-16-2009, 10:52 AM

Step 1: asshat puts a large balloon into the air and claims to the media that his 6 year old son might be in it

Step 2: large group of Anonymous forum participants determines that the story is bullshit before the major media can figure it out

Step 3: Anonymous uses great skill to determine asshat's residential address

Step 4: Anonymous orders them pizza.

Step 5: lulz on TV.

Brilliant! Now on top of all the paparazzi or new media idiots there will be a dozen pizza/food/???? vehicle at a "scene" also. It just keeps getting better all the time.

Sounds like bad parents, at least.

Some public comments on this story accuse the family of a publicity stunt, which is supported by Falcon's own comment to CNN. In an interview, he said "we did this for the show.''

Who is "we", the 2 boys, or more?

There's something else that bugs me about this story. Why wasn't there a more thorough search of the house? Yes, the older brother's statements about Falcon taking off in the balloon never changed and kids sometimes hide when they think they're in trouble, according to authorities. But still, why not be sure?

If the parents weren't in on it, I can see if one kid said the other was in the balloon, they would accept it as fact.

Did the parents contact the media, or did the media hear it on the scanner? It got a lot of coverage.

capnhowdy · 10-18-2009, 09:23 AM

But now they're facing charges. Very good.

Clodfobble · 10-18-2009, 10:19 AM

Flint · 10-18-2009, 10:21 AM

Huh? No... I said I feel famous.

For wasting thousands of dollars of tax money and the manpower of public officials for a publicity scam.

I don't believe it was a publicity scam. And I don't think parents who've lost a child should have to pay for the police to help them look. Now they're searching the house. For what? extra cardboard boxes? Ridiculous.
