    STFU, Ann Curry! No one is expecting you to report the news for free, so why should this kid feel guilty for selling access to his story? #richardheene

    These people are making the usual fameballs like Julia Allison look pretty benign. Charming, even.

    Wow. I said that. #richardheene

    I love how Ann Curry says "the so-called Balloon Boy". As if we can no longer call him that legitimately since he was never in the balloon. That's a journalist who sticks to the truth! #richardheene

    Bottom line? The world used to suspect that americans were screwed up. Now they're pret-ty, pret-ty sure. #richardheene

    How much did "the gossip site, Gawker" (NYT's words, not mine) pay Thomas for his story? Whatever it was, probably worth it, considering the publicity they gave you this morning. #richardheene

    Does anyone else think Heene looks and behaves a lot like that fameball, Dean McDermott, husband to the fabu Miss Tori Spelling? #richardheene

    Is it that we can't believe a reality mongering half-wit would exploit television news to garner yet another hapless fifteen minutes of famewhoredom? Or are we soooo angry that for those couple of hours last week we were all duped by someone who manically figured out how to manipulate the world for two hours by literally using the proverbial "little boy who cried wolf" ploy and like idiots we all fell for it?

    It's gotta be the latter, because why else are we still talking about it, if as a nation we don't feel like simpletons for letting a crazed bag of asshole get us all in a frenzy? I mean really, how many Jon Gosselins does it take for us to realize that we're really the problem here. The nutbags just preen and throw the shit at the glass zoo walls. #richardheene

    OK, so we have the crazy partner of a crazy guy getting attention. Is the crazy partner's crazy former girlfriend going to come forward now and say how crazy her former beloved is and how his story isn't true either? Or are we all the crazy ones for still listening to this shit? #richardheene

    @TheExperience: Crazy partner needs to get a shampoo and a trim. Also, anti-crazy lessons. Speculation about whether or not Hilary Clinton is a secret reptile is way beyond "far-fetched." #richardheene

    Rob, your appearances on the Today Show this morning are pretty priceless. Hey, whatever happened to your Facebook-killer?

    By the way - AWESOME CROWN, dude.

    @RandomLunatic: Thank you for someone finally acknowledging this failed attempt at fame Rob has already tried to pull.

    Rob's word is just as non-credible as Henne's is. I wouldn't believe anything Rob says about this guy, or anything else for that matter. #boyintheballoon

    Also, the streaking event he planned! Like I said in my comment, if I remember correctly it was way short of breaking the record... #boyintheballoon

    Well, this changes everything. So when Einstein posited that E =MC2, the "E" stood for entertainment? So then "M" stood for massive ego, and "C" still stands for the speed of light...

    Eureka! #boyintheballoon
