Wait, he's not planning to build a mosque inside that bubble, is he?

Bradenton?! What a hole. Oh, that's just perfect. That place is like the radioactive core of Florida's weirdness.

The only reason to go to Bradenton is to get to Anna Maria Island.

Paging moops, please report to thread #5597644

Submitted too, with a nearly identical headline.


/THIS time, mine WAS funnier than this one..

It's a hoax! They only pretended to move. The kids are hiding in the attic so they can get a show.

/or something

Welcome! You'll fit right in.

Diogenes: Bradenton?! What a hole. Oh, that's just perfect. That place is like the radioactive core of Florida's weirdness.

Seems like the same stretch of abandoned strip malls that every other populated place in FL is.

I'd still like to know how exactly they thought their scheme was going to lead to a TV show deal.

True, but Bradenton is like the Platonic Perfect Form, that all other Florida places aspire to be as trashy as.

Oh, please. Bradenton isn't the radioactive core of Florida's weirdness. IMHO, you're in Weirdo Central there in Orlando, dude.

Not sure why, but when news broke that this was a hoax, it started a pie thread. (new window)

When they want to give one to the Jet Blue nutjob, I don't find it suprising at all.

No banality is too small.

Naaa. We're just a rest stop on the crazy train. The only other place that could wrest the title from Bradenton would be Lakeland.

You know, I can understand doing this to try to give some kind of career to my child which is obviously more than some parents are willing to do these days. If you care about your child, you will do everything you can to see to their success and if that requires a little song and dance then,hey, you do what you have to.

Some people might think putting a child in a flying saucer is going to far, I don't. Not a single person was harmed in this and frankly, emergency services are constantly aching to be in the media spotlight anyway.

Balloon boy looks like a foreigner.

He should fit right in.

FTFA - Authorities in Colorado told KMGH the Heenes had permission to move to Florida, but the family still owes part of the $48,000 that agencies spent during the Oct. 15 incident.


RE: the money...HA! HA!

RE: the date...So the one year anniversary is the day of the Cleveland FARK party? Should I decorate the site with some of those round, silver balloons?

I disagree. Orlando is the most normal place in FL. I mean have you been to Jacksonville? Dear god have. you. been. to. Jacksonville? it's like if the people in Deliverance farked their sisters for several more generations then suffered brain trauma and managed to clone their brain damaged selves and populate a city....that is Jacksonville.

Any mention of the father's belief in the 'all of our leaders are lizards from outer-space' yet?

I imagine there are places in Florida where this becomes common knowledge. Is this one of them?

Bradenton is where everybody, and I do mean everbody's, grandparents live. I've been halfway around the world, run into another random American, discussed where I'm from and gotten the answer, "oh, that's where my grandparents live" more times than I can count. That's how balloon boy and family ended up there, balloon boy's grandparents already live there.

There are plenty of places weirder though.

Well, they don't have a TV show yet, but obviously their quest for notoriety worked. All these many months later and we're still talking about them....

Alright, I take back my original comment. Half of the farkers on here apparently submitted this story, so I guess people do care.

There's something rotten in the state of Denfark. Something afoot with this Sinto character: 2990 greenlights, and less than 1/10th are actually funny. Look at his profile; see for yourself.

It's the old buddy-buddy thing, I know it.

We know you can't have nice things, it is apparently your fate.

Let me guess-- you're one of those guys who likes to complain about the coach when you're watching sports because your stint on the JV football team makes you vastly more qualified than the professionals on the sidelines
