I suppose it was only a matter of time before the now infamous "Balloon Boy" was the subject of severe viral mocking and thanks to the makers of "I’m in a box," a viral parody of both Balloon Boy and The Lonely Island hit "I’m on a boat," has now been accomplished.
The "I’m in a box" parody chronicles little Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) from the time that his parents cooked up the scheme.
I, for one, feel sorry for the Balloon Boy because you just know that that kid, thanks to his parents, now has a rather unfortunate nickname for the rest of his life.
