What the hell?!

Neither. We need to stop encouraging these kinds of news stories.

Well - Train Baby isn't being thrust in front of cameras by his parents (as least not yet).

But I don't mind hearing about Train Baby's lucky escape. It is a good news story.

I'm voting Train Baby, because I kind of suspect Balloon Boy's parents of rigging the whole thing. Him saying "You said that it we did this for the show." doesn't exactly help build credibility for the honesty of their case.

Balloon Boy because when I first saw the story I laughed a little, but when I saw the Train Baby I 'd.

In Britain there's a different "Balloon boy" - his story's much cooler

I've been just as guilty of talking about Balloon Boy everywhere, but really, he and his wacky family can just go away now.
