    Now they're gonna have to make a reality TV show about the people who live next door to reality TV families. #themedia

    I can't mock this guy. His day-to-day life is ruined by an a-hole neighbor and a-hole media dinks hanging around waiting for something to happen.

    I think this whole "Balloon Boy" incident will go down as a case study in the real destructive narcism of the media on all levels...

    Except for Gawker. This is the only place anyone can get a real perspective on this mess. What a country! #themedia

    The beginning of the video shows an argument between the neighbor and Jon Bowman, a reporter for KDVR 31, the Denver-based FOX affiliate. The man who the neighbor then chases around the news van is Byron Stewart, a photojournalist for KDVR.

    I found the full story on KDVR's web site after noticing the decals on the news van and looking the station up. Link: [www.kdvr.com]

    The man in the yellow shirt who then jumps the neighbor was identified by KMGH 7, the Denver-based ABC affiliate, as another neighbor. If you watch the video on KMGH's web site, you can hear the anchorwoman identify the man in the yellow shirt as a second neighbor, who -- according to the anchorwoman -- jumped in to stop the first neighbor from attacking the KDVR crew.

    Link to the KMGH video: [www.thedenverchannel.com] (Click on "Fight Breaks Out Outside Balloon Boy's Home," third column over.)

    What a funny looking guy. Clearly very agitated and ready to fight. But someone should tell him that covering your arms with tattoos is no substitute for muscles. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up getting thrown to the ground at least three or four more times by the end of the week. #themedia

    @El_Gato: He got thrown to the grown by a guy who jumped him from behind and then reversed himself out of it and got the upperhand. I guess tattoos are the real ultimate power. #themedia

    @twoeightnine: Don't get me wrong. He didn't do too bad there. But I think the tattoos are like liquid courage, and I imagine he's bound to instigate at least another tussle or two this week, and someone's bound to whoop his ass. #themedia
