Balloon Boy Lands In App Store – This Is Not A Hoax

BALLOON-BOY-HOAX-63246 We are sick (but you probably already knew that)! Last month, as we joined the millions of people watching the Balloon Boy stunt unfold, we kept thinking … “man this would make an awesome iPhone app”. Just think about it … Balloon Boy’s Revenge. A Bully Beatdown of sorts … where users come to the aid of Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene, and slap the shit out of his publicity whoring parents.

Well our twisted dream almost came true with the release of Balloon Boys from Mosa Motion Graphics.

With the Balloon Boys app, users can create their own Balloon Boy-themed hoax by inserting a selection of silver balloons and flying figurines into photos taken from the in-app’s camera or iPhone camera roll. Heck … you could probably create your own media frenzy by emailing your Balloon Boy sighting mash-up to the press … we’re sure they’ll love you for it.

Balloon Boy DoucheDad Now granted, Balloon Boys is much tamer than the crap-kicking version of what we envisioned (and what the parents deserve), however the app is an excellent tribute to an event that’s sure to become a classic American folk-tale.

Oh and as an fyi … on November 13, douchebags Richard and Mayumi Heene (Balloon Boy’s parents) pled guilty to “false reporting to authorities” and “attempting to influence a public servant”. All the more reason the iPhone really does need a “Slap The Shit Out Of Balloon Boy’s Parents” app.

  • LMAO … wow, you are not kidding … checked out the entire site, including
    the pages for their other apps and indeed, no iTunes “puchase now” links.

    Thanks for all the attention! This app has an image tool that can match your Balloon Boy layers to the overall tone and exposure of your background photo. Each added balloon layer can have adjustments made in Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, and Sharpness. For night time scenes, darken the balloon and give it a blueish tint – this will work very well. Most images can be made to match. It just requires a little thought.

    Add as many layers as you want.

    Think ahead, and then attempt to create the concept in your mind. It's surprising how things can come out.

  • We have some more photo-examples at:

    Richard Heene lives about an hour from my house. I'd watch out, he's hungry for money – expect a call from his lawyers.
