It’s been four days since America was glued to their TV screens watching a empty balloon floating through the air, American Beauty-style. At the time, we of course believed that a six-year old boy named after a F-Zero character was helplessly trapped in the balloon (even as CNN balloon experts said this would be physically impossible).

From there the story has spiraled out of control faster then a Coen Brothers movie, complete with with dysfunctional family drama, elaborate hoaxes, reality television deals, storm-chasing, appearances on Larry King, small town sheriffs, uncontrolled vomiting, rap videos, the Colorado National Guard, and “Go, Falcon Go” t-shirts. This is truly one of the most bizarre news stories of the year (and maybe decade). It’s already inspired a swarm of Internet memes and I think it’s deserving of it’s own mix.
