Stars tweet about “Balloon Boy”
October 16th, 2009
Yesterday the world was in awe of Falcon Heene, better known as the Balloon Boy.
He also caught the attention of celebrity tweeters.
Joel Madden asked Pete Wentz: hey man where r you? i was thinking about gassing the balloon up and coming over.
Mark Hoppus wrote “i spent a solid 2 hrs today watching a big empty mylar balloon. on tv.”
John Mayer said “This unfortunate media display involving balloon boy undermines the hundreds of boys and girls actually lost to balloon flight every year.”
And Drake’s Knee rapped: “whats the outcome … God punished his parents cuz they named him Falcon.”
And though he wasn’t actually in the balloon, Falcon was in a music video once.
Balloon Boy appeared on the reality show Wife Swap, where he and his family made a strange rap video.
Yikes.

Balloon boy story was followed by so many people yesterday. So many people also found original ways to promote something. A funny example that made me laugh is:

Some others built online games, designed t-shirts, wrote songs… Thank God balloon boy is alive.
