"Imagine this scenario: Every person you know—each family member, friend, co-worker and casual acquaintance—receives an anonymous email from a stranger making terrible accusations about you. How would you feel? Renee Holder knows: "Devastated." Several years ago, Ms. Holder discovered that dozens of her MySpace friends had received an anonymous email calling her a tramp and a home-wrecker. For weeks, she tried to counter the allegations, which she says came from her new boyfriend's former girlfriend.

My entire damned office was glued to their television screens and news websites, Twitter was slammed with prayers for the Balloon Boy, and I’m pretty sure the Colorado National Guard sent rescue planes up to meet the balloon. You guys didn’t care about the kid. This story doesn’t hit close to home. It couldn’t have happened to anyone. It couldn’t have happened to you. You do not keep an inflated hot air balloon tethered loosely in your backyard. No reasonable human does. America, you COULD NOT JUMP ON THIS STORY QUICK ENOUGH because the total idiocy of these parents may have resulted in a 6-year-old boy falling thousands of miles from a balloon basket down to a very... more... - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
