Balloon Boy is Max
You’ve got to love the fact that Falcon aka “Balloon Boy” is basically a real life version of Bart Simpson or Max of Where the Wild Things Are. Maybe Spike Jonze and Warner Bros. paid the family for this elaborate marketing tactic.
“Wild child lets off helium balloon and causes chaos…speaking of wild children, Where the Wild Things Are is now in theaters.”
Brilliant.
Or maybe, like Max on his sailboat, Balloon Boy really did take a trip to the island of The Wild Things. I like that idea better. Stay tuned for the inevitable Today Show/Oprah/TMZ/Reality Show follow-up.
