Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...

Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....

"And Mr. Heene is really... (rips mask off)... OLD MAN WITHERS!!?!"
Score = 14
And he would have gotten away with it (making his kid hide in a box in the attic while he went on tv), too, if it weren't for those meddling (six year old) kids (blabbing during a cable news interview before barfing in a tupperware)!

I can't wait to hear what they're going to say about this on The View. (Seriously, someone find me a job please.)

Do you want to be on a reality TV show? This might be a good opportunity for you - off the top of my head: Do you have any small kids? A bunch of cellophane and helium? If so, you're almost guaranteed a TV show. The other *small* possibility is jail time BUT SERIOUSLY, what could go wrong?
Score = 5
The only reality show I'd be on is Real World/Road Rules Challenge; have you seen how much alcohol and also sex those people get? I already have the lack of dignity part down since I admitted to watching The View. (You guys thought I was kidding. Shit just got real.)

Something about it not being a hoax-hoax I'm sure.

The Larimer County police should all be fired for taking three whole days to reach such an obvious conclusion.

"Mr. Heene, who fashioned himself a scientist and television star"
I would love to have the confidence just to make stuff up about myself and have the career of my dreams.
"David Crewe, who fashioned himself a police robot and international piggyback champion"
Dreams can come true, Gabrielle. They really can.

Well, he's got a high school education and he took his kids to see tornadoes up close so they could learn about "science"... so I guess he's kind of a "scientist" (in the same way that Kanye West is a "musician").
Score = 6
"According to former colleagues, the parents met while enrolled at an acting school in Los Angeles."

As opposed to immigrants, legal or otherwise? I'm glad he specified.

I just want to reiterate that Oct. 15 (ma birfday), was a really bad day to take the day off [from the internet] and do real life things [I don't know what those are either] because that was ONE HELL of a day to miss the news cycle. I came back, read Videogum and was just all "HUUUUH? WUUUUUUUT?" for about a day. Oh, Colorado. I miss you.

"In 2001 he produced an instructional video about turning cardboard boxes into forts for children." It's a shame this video hadn't been made twenty years ago. Things could have been so different.
Score = 1
You know what's not hilarious? Falcon Heene's brothers will probably blame him for their parents' incarceration, and he'll eventually blame himself for this whole mess. :(
