'Balloon Boy' and Brothers Celebrate Stoning a 'Faggot' in Rap Video
As you likely know already, the Heene family balloon escapade has been proven to be a complete hoax, and criminal charges are now likely to be pressed against Richard Heene.
In the media dig for more details on this bizarre family, a video has recently surfaced (actually it's been around a while, gathering nearly half a million views) featuring the three Heene kids performing a rap against "Pussification" which the video defines as "The modern day teachings of human beings living a superficial lifestyle of consumerism, obesity, and over protectiveness for themselves and their children (put them in a corner for 'Time Out') in an effort gain as many supporters as possible to believe that they are better than everyone else around them. The females are typically referred to as 'Soccer moms' while the males are referred to as 'Pussies'."
The video also features the same sort of anti-gay lyrics you might find in a Buju Banton video:
"I look up in the tree. What do I see? I see a faggot trying to pee (?) on me. I pick up a rock. Threw it at his cock." The rest is unintelligible, but it has something to do with sending the faggot to a doctor where he is taken care of."
The segment above can be found starting at around 2:29.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
So much to be proud of in this wonderful American family (not)---- the children (which traditional American society professes to care about) don't have a prayer with the example their responsible parents are setting for them. True to form-their aspirations of being whores for reality television are not unique- as we live in a country that cares more about Jon and Kate and the fabricated American Idol competition than they do about the issues that should matter. Very sad

I agree with Nick, though there is a large segment of the population that I assume would not. The parents deserve jail time for this bullshit. Lives were put in danger because of them. Throw the book at them!

Parenting is just so difficult when you are too busy lining up photo ops.

Three future Gay bashers. Fuck the Heene family. I hope they all die poor and unfamous.

I feel sorry for the kids, because of their idiotic, fame whoring, bigoted parents they are started off life with a huge disadvantage.

But hold up, y'all... everybody knows that the proper family structure for child rearing is a man and a woman in the bonds of holy matrimony... (/sarcasm)
Shameful. Absolutely shameful. But you know what? They likely don't care. All they care about is attention, even if it's the wrong kind.

Mark, I bet your Mom would be real proud of the language you used.

Buzzaby, Fuck off!

What would you expect from a father who has proven himself (see "Wife Swap") to be a total douche bag.

Families like this need to be culled from the herd.

Too bad the train didn't come and run the entire family over.

Kids say the darndest things, don't they? ;)
Part of me hopes the kids get taken away from their cuckoo parents and live with a stable family.

"You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!"

I've been substitute teaching in high school off and on for 6 years, and I can spot a kid whose parents don't set limits, don't give "time outs," & don't teach them manners, discipline, respect for others, etc. They're almost always the kids causing the most problems. The dad may be hot, but I think he's got severe psychological/masculinity issues, and they're spilling all over the kids. What a mess.

I caught the video on Huffingtonpost over the weekend and it just cemented my belief that this country's love of fame and 'reality' TV is beyond sick. It's bad enough for the parents whore their kids but to write and perform in the video with them just shows how bad they are.

I HOPE THEY ALL ARE GAY

Clearly, straight people aren't cut out to be parents.

Mark: You seem to have some anger issues.
It's not ok for rappers and kids to say 'faggot' but it's ok for you to tell the family to 'fuck off' and 'hope they die.'
And it's equally of of you to tell someone who posted a comment above to 'fuck off.'
Oh... I'll save you the time and effort by telling myself to fuck off. I'll imagine other things you'll wish upon me as well.
I think you need a hug.

JimmyD, he technically said that he hoped that they will die poor and unfamous. Technically, it could be interpreted to mean "I hope that when they all finally succumb to death, they will be dirt poor and totally devoid of fame".

This will make for a good Southpark episode.

Just repulsive. I hope they do serious time for that balloon hoax and extra years for bigotry and stupidity!

A perfect example of why some people should not reproduce. Those children could be poster children for planned parenthood.
Posted by: Brad | Oct 19, 2009 2:44:17 PM
It is possible to circumvent all that wiring. I don't know if these kids will ever do so....but it is possible. I grew up in a "we hate everyone not us" household, and I managed to escape becoming like them. Of course - I eventually divorced my entire family to get away from the crazy (something I’d advise anyone stuck in a similar situation to do). Point is - I knew that shit was wrong from the get go. To be frank - I wouldn’t repeat it even at that age (6-10) - though it got me in trouble - so I'm not sure those Heene kids will ever shake the hate...but who knows? Pity instilling hatred and bigotry isn't considered child abuse.
