Big Balloon Go Pop Over Rockford, River Sharks Eat Family of 6
Family of 6 Fly to East Side of Rockford in their Hot Air Balloon for a Picnic Before Being Sent Back To The West Side By Angry East Siders. Their Hot Air Balloon Popped Over the Rock River. Upon Landing on the Water, River Sharks ate the family of 6. No survivors.
Rockford, IL – A large hot air balloon carrying a family of six took off from the west side of Rockford on Sunday morning and attempted to fly to the east side of Rockford. A crowd of east-siders gathered in awe at the corner of East State and Perryville to protest the family’s attempt to land in the Best Buy parking lot for a lunch-time picnic. The balloon had to retreat back to the west side of Rockford after fearing the eastsiders would shoot their balloon down with their AK-47s and bows n’ arrows.
Upon attempting their overhead return to the west side of Rockford with their picnic basket and children in tow, the balloon went pop over the Rock River near the Auburn Street bridge. Traffic stopped for three hours and people gathered on the bridge to witness the balloon’s descent onto the river. The scent of the food trapped in the picnic basket lured three great brown river sharks from below the murky water towards the drowning family of six. People watching from both sides of the Rock River and from atop the bridge screamed and cried for the unknown westsiders while the river sharks ate them. As of this morning there are no survivors.
When we learn more you’ll know less.™

Knew it was fake the moment they said AK’s. Patriotic east siders all roll with AR-15’s for when they wanna shoot at something.
You were sold by the mentioning of guns. Let’s thank the Lord that the title of the article and the photo didn’t alert anyone first. What a funny town!
The sad thing there are retards who actually believe this! Read the story it’s got hair on it.
Retards need something to believe in, Dan. It’s a good thing for us that Rockfordians will believe anything and settle for so little on a daily basis from their leaders.
River shark grilled on a sesame seed bun is one of my favorites.
So delicious. A real original Rockford sandwich!
It’s ok, he was talking about RCKD News. Those guys are liars.
Seriously want to cry from these stupid people! First of all, do you believe everything on the internet? Then you must also believe Mr. Rogers was once a sniper and Captain Kangaroo was a spy. Have you ever even seen a hot air balloon? The only thing it can control is gaining altitude, the rest depends on gravity and the wind. And have you ever heard of “brown river sharks” in the river in your LIFE?! I feel like I’m going insane that people are believing this story! This story is not what is wrong with Rockford, it’s you (mostly a-hole Bill) this guy probably also believes the contrails are the government drugging us…”Wildbill” I believe I’ve heard your BS spilled on the AM airwaves also. If you hate Rockford so much that you moved then why do you care so much to post your garbage on anything Rockford related! Grow up and shut up!~
Look it up
I think this is awesome! Rockford’s own verison of The Onion!
Oh, and this is to the dumba$$ otherwise known as Bill Brown. You are an ignorant bigot who is also flat out stupid if you thought there was one ounce of truth to this story. Not only are there NO sharks in the Rock River, but you cannot steer a hot air balloon. It’s people like YOU that give Rockford a bad name.
The End.
Rockford’s main problem, as evidenced by some of the people on here, is that it takes itself WAY to seriously! Relax!!! Is your groundwater making you sick and paranoid? Move!!! Is it the stress from the gang warfare in your own backyard? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! Be a part of the the solution! and fucking learn to have a laugh. This is a fun site, it is not meant to be taken seriously! DUH.
bill brown spell so good! it’s a joke, tool!
wow. nobody has a sense of humor anymore. Except the folks who run this site. Thanks for being awesome.

We don’t edit out public comments much at all but we had to today on this article page. NOTE: You can misspell, intentionally capitalize, agree or disagree with us (as if we care either way), share your emotional intardenet opinions, get political and childish all day long to poke buttons at others to rile them up on our site in the name of Symbol but to share intentional-or-unintentional racial slurs like the ones that ‘Bill’ shared publicly are not allowed– unless you’re blatantly attacking white, rich, greedy and corrupt good ol’ boy $cumbag Rockfordians (and surrounding areas all over earth) with the truth– to break the noose.™ Please watch your cracker fingers & stale saltined thoughts, Bill.
Remember: No racial slurs allowed unless you’re making fun of whitey or good ol’ boy Rockford-styled $cumbags. You don’t like it? Go on over to Rockford Scanner, Our City, Our Story or Go Rockford to see how far you get with your opinions.

HEY RCKD NEWS IF THIS IS A FAKE ARTICAL LOOK ME TO SUE YOU FOR FALSE AND MISLEADING ARTICLES
Thank you for sharing your emotions with us on the intardenet but we’ll see how far you get in a court of law after you research our site further.
Bill Brown.
The people who actually believed this story make me more worried about my future.
Firstly, the headline was poorly written. “Big Balloon Go Pop,” I might’ve believed that if I was in kindergarten.
Secondly, the photo beneath the headline displays flags from the Labor Day event once known as On The Waterfront. This event did not take place this year due to financial issues.
Thirdly, the police would not take kindly to a mob wielding AK-47s (which are expensive!) and bows and arrows.
Just some obvious facts.
LOL, morons.
Kayla,
Yes. Be worried because we are worried as well for our future but stop to laugh at the Rockford roses that have gathered here!
Thank you for breaking the noose with us on the intardenet!

I feel entirely uneducated right now and pretty embarrassed. I can’t tell if this is a joke or not since this is the first time visiting rkfdnews. If I read this on the Onion, then I would totally understand!
Nevermind. I take this back cause I’m an idiot. THIS IS REAL!
This is phenomenal. Thank you for enriching my day!
This is why I moved. That city is dying and this is a good example why.
Thank you for reporting on this tragedy when no other news outlet will. Prayers go out to the families involved. This is horrible. Rockford ought to stop wasting money on dumb things like school lunch programs and hire divers to kill those river sharks.
Lmmfao river sharks Roflmmfao, this is too funny n people r actually eating it up, 🙂

Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your emotions with us on the intardenet but we have no idea what east side vs. west side war you’re commenting on besides the war going on between your heart and your brain. We love you and thank you for attacking us with emotions on the internet. The truth is true but your noose cannot be broken– hang in there, you’ll get it!™

Wow! Only the intellect of a Dr. could detect this sarcasm. Good investigative work Dr Elizabeth!
Only Rockford would attempt to report something do lame
Your emotions are our tears of laughter. So lame, not “do lame”.
Where are the “Thumbs Up – Thumbs Down” so we can vote on this???

Would have been better if the picture was from Sunday which was windy and rainy. And it was not reported on the evening news at all, plus no picture of balloon in the river. So I say all lies.
Did you actually take the time to remind our staff of the weather? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us on the intardenet!
