Come on, mate. Stay relevant. This is American style crap. Be a proud Aussie and let that American tripe stay on the other side of the pacific. Dont give it ant credence. Why not talk about something Aussies can relate too, maybe something about how Ricky Ponting is a short arse twurp.
With the influx of American media flooding into this country, it's hard to talk about something relevant to Aussies, sorry mate, but that's just the way it is.
Funny how we call these people attention whores when this whole youtube site is brewing with em - give me a break, make a video of yourself and broadcast it here - thats the ultimate self centered act there is.
Their children are going to be scarred for life with parents like that, think of how they are going to be treated by people once they tell them who they are..
A million volts by itself is no big deal. Many things produce such high voltages; a "potential difference". Any real damage is caused not by the voltage but by current flow, as in lightning. It's possible to have a huge voltage with very little current to flow, and this is quite safe. Unscrew the spark plug on your motorbike, keep it connected to the power cable, & hold it while you kickstart the bike. The voltage is thousands of volts, but the current is tiny, so you will barely feel a tingle.
It seems to me that balloon dad was counting on the general public not being aware of basics of voltage and current. So he glibly drops the words "million volts" to get sensational publicity. Does the guy just disappear while taking the 911 call? Doesn't show much interest. Strange. This video shows him releasing the balloon himself. I thought he was supposed to be indoors and one of the other boys come running inside with the "bad news" that the balloon was gone? Pathetic acting all round.
I hope the Children get taken away and the Parents fined n Jailed for a few months and forced to take Parenting Classes, everytime one of these incidents happen it makes Americans very Angry, Personally i want beat them up for using all these Emergency Resources , they forced a Ground Stop at an In't Airport. God for bid if a real emergency were to happen everybody would be paying attention to the Balloon and not the Problem.....sigh.....another dumb american ....fucked ...up family...

That phone call sounds so fake....Why would you test that in a small backyard instead of a field. I hope the kids get taken away.

Typo. Should read "any credence"
That means he shouldnt give this any publicity because to do so is validate their effort. Should just leave it alone.
