Most. Depressing. Balloon. Ever.

2 College students found dead in helium balloon.

I'm not sure how to comment on this without being totally offensive.

Seriously!

You're allowed to be offensive here.

I just hope for the balloon manufacturer's sake they had a big warning label on the outside saying "Crawling inside this balloon may result in severely annoying the person next to you and/or death".

Do you ever fear that one day the entire human race will end up this stupid?

No. Because, as this story shows, nature has a way of preventing that from happening.

Unfortunately, the possibility that we all become vacuous, uninteresting people who just watch TV and consult Google for instant knowledge instead of taking the time to actually learn things is very real, and even scarier.

One day?

but...i mean, what did they think was going to be inside the balloon?

Their cries for help were unfortunately mistaken for an Alvin & the Chipmunks record.

The worm has finally turned, and balloons have begun to smuggle people.

candy.

Most. Morbid. Caption it. Contest. EVER.

see, now that makes sense. that's something i could get behind.

When I was a little shaver, I dared my friend John to put his mouth on the nozzle of the helium tank that they used to fill balloons at our local Winn Dixie (supermarket) and take a great big rip on it. He did. The nozzle was so cold that his lips fused to it, and when he finally wrenched himself free of it, he had cut his mouth up so badly that he had to go to the hospital. The moral of the story? People are fucking

retarded.

Well what do you expect in a town called Lutz?

*goes to google the word vacuous*

WE WANT INFORMATION!

Think of "vacuole" from biology class.

*goes to google 'biology class'*

*shoots in head*

I just snorted an energy drink through my nose due to this comment. I hope your day is now complete.
