At first I thought the media calling this kid “Balloon Boy” was pretty funny.  I mean, how could that not make you think of the “Bubble Boy” from Seinfeld?  And sure, the media coverage of this story is finally dying down but what does strike me as concerning is the fact that this guy is constantly being referred to as a serious ‘Storm Chaser.’  That couldn’t be further from the truth!  But not all is lost as finally an article appeared telling our side of the story.

I’m glad they used quotes from my blog as well as Tony Laubach’s because this guy is a joke, fraud, and a bad parent.  I hope charges are filed and the actual storm chasing community can move on without this tarnishing our reputation any further.  Let us never speak of this guy again…
