    It will be a cruel realization as it slowly dawns on Falcon that he's the most well-balanced, mature thinker in his entire family.
    I say, give HIM custody over his parents and siblings: their family certainly can't fare any worse. #balloonboy

    How 'bout we make fame-whoring a Class B misdemeanor, like streetwalking, and go from there? Granted, half of California would have to make bail, but still. #balloonboy

    Actually I blame Richard Heene for all of this. He's the attention whore, not so much her. She is so incredibly passive (which is probably why he chose her to begin with) that she's more of a passive participant rather than one to "deliberately threw her child into the middle of a self-generated media shitstorm."

    Not excusing her, but it's really fucked up of the dad/husband to let it get so far as for her to be possibly deported because of all this. He's the one who needs to be punished fully out of all of this. And she needs to be away from him as much as the kids do. Seriously, almost everyone else interviewed who knew them just walked away from his bullshit but her - because she pretty much can't. I would like to see her as much as an abuse victim as those kids are, unable to defend themselves from his special crunchy sort of batshittery. #balloonboy

    Ah well. Damn you, internet. If Balloon Boy had happened in the 90s this never would have jumped the shark before Halloween. Only about .5% of people would have actually gone through with making it. #halloween

    Being that Arrested Development is a cult favorite, will dressing up like David Cross still get you laid? Because that's such an easy costume. #halloween

    I'd like to dress up very 1980s suit-with - buttoned up shirt & tied-bow, with fake blood all over me, carrying a knife through a bunch of Gourmets, Cookies, and Dominos. #halloween

    Why not go as John Fitzgerald Page? All you'd need would be some '80s prepwear (yellow suspenders, cufflinks shaped like $$) and a total lack of self-awareness. #halloween

    @Brian Moylan: Oooo did he/she have their own personal Dimitri/Artemis/Danny for sweaty hugs? That would be the best benefit of a Cat Deely costume, that and the unique flair she brings to some of the more uggo affairs I've ever seen on television. #halloween
