This guy was known for running off at a moments notice to chase storms across the landscape....So why didn’t he chase the balloon his kid was supposed to be in?

[Stultis]

Announcing his kids will be getting real names?

Naw. That’s too much to hope for.

[SERKIT]

He was attempting to extend his already-expired 15 minutes of fame.

press conference: another hoax

[fatima]

I just saw it live on CNN.He said that he doesn't have cable and heard there were many questions by reporter's so he had them put their questions in a box and will be out to answer them.He did answer one question,it was not a hoax.

Last night a blog I read said TLC has reconsidered and offered the Heene’s a contract for a reality show. This could replace the canceled John & Kate Plus 8. It would fit right in with their obsession with dysfunctional families.

I kid you not...This guy comes out with a cardboard box, tells the news crews to put their questions into the box, and it looked like he walked back into the house with the box....

The new crew guys are standing there with their jaws hanging down looking at the box...This is great comedy.

I saw the video of it lifting off and the fact that the camera was on and the dads reaction made me even more sure that this is a hoax.
