Balloon Boy Pukes on the Today Show

All that hype, and it comes to this. Ahhhhhmerica. The dad is so devastatingly grossed out right around second 0:32. He must be thinking, "Why is this happening during my bastardization of 15 minutes of fame? All my friends are watching." The boy can't put up with the bullshit any longer. Something's gotta give.

At 7am, fans begin to blow, pilots begin to fire their burners and slowly, very slowly, balloons lift off. At low elevations the winds tend to be southerly, but at higher elevations they tend to be northerly. Balloonists use these winds to navigate in a vertical box: they ascend slightly from the launch park, move south, ascend further, move north, descend, and repeat the box or land back in the launch park or quite nearby. This is referred to as 'The Albuquerque Box.'
