The Balloon Boy family seems to have made a rap video with some really nasty homo-phobic, anti-gay, and indeed, gay bashing lyrics. It is below the fold.
Watch it while you can because it keeps getting taken off YouTube:

A bit of the wife swap episode. Heene freaks about about a guy's mullet.
I want to know how they met, Richard and Mayumi.

Bah to all of this.

Though it's the parents' fault. I mean, seriously, their father thinks there are Reptilians.

People should require a license to have children.
