Balloon Boy dad strikes again

heene.jpg

By now, everyone knows Richard Heene is a fame-hungry reality TV "star," the father of three would-be hooligans (NSFW) and now a confessed felon.

But did you know that he's also an author?

As expected, his book -- "The Official Offensive Driving Handbook" -- is as gross as you'd expect. It's also currently out of stock, so I guess it won't be this year's top gift, either.

 I guess the only thing I'm really shocked about is that no one has bothered to "review" the book yet. Maybe it's a good sign, though: perhaps our celebrity-obsessed country has had enough with this man's brand of "humor."
