What's your point? He probably just finished watching Curious George.
Seriously, this is not deserving of the coverage it's getting. I'm shocked so many people here disagree.

Is 100 square feet of helium even enough to lift a 50lb kid?

Pretty sure you mean 100 cubic feet... square feet is area.

LOL I hope people are watching CNN right now. They're using the touch screen with a picture of a balloon and a helicopter to demonstrate how high they were.

Clearly, if you don't get why this story is important, you didn't live through Baby Jessica, or have a child yourself. I cringed a little when I thought of my 20 month old in there...

Man I hope those kids are just screwing around. If not there's a very real possibility that he fell out.

Publicity stunt by the parents who are inventors? I sure hope not.

You whine about the coverage this is getting but you are perpetuating it.
Personally, I think a 6 year old kid crawling into a balloon and floating away is a pretty compelling story.
If you don't agree I'm sure everyone appreciates you coming in and letting us know, but you've done your deed and now are just trolling.

Meh, the news caters to what people want to see, and people want to see this. It's really just that simple. I don't see why someone would take exception to why this is being covered by CNN.

Dad's probably making the whole kid story up.
People don't go on Wife Swap without being fame whores and the dad's probably loving all the attention his family is getting right now.

With 90 people viewing this thread at the moment, I'd say it's compelling news.
