Also on KFI Los Angeles, we just heard it...

Hoax.

This guy is effing COOKED, baby.

[dragnet2]

lol....We fell out of our chairs when that kid said that....

[al baby]

I think the kid is a racist he opened his eyes real wide at me

I doubt it was the kids who put this together.

Those parents got a taste of fame when they were on “Wife Swap” and they are hungry to be famous. I think they organized this.

...the Mom blurted out something that the husband gave her a look for during an interview....right before they (he ) turned to walk into the house.....
..later when she was asked how he was found she said she was sitting on the couch ..”and he just appeared” The husband knows she can't keep the story straight....watch the next move....no more interviews....or she remains silent

Plus the kid has gas!

“Kids Bust the Darnedest Hoaxes”, starring Art Linkletter.

The boy’s response... the father’s response to the boy... it all looks pretty bad.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

It’s pretty clear that the kid was Falcon around, and the parents put him up to it.

Cue the FAA

[Lazamataz]

Jimmy Carter is quite convinced this whole episode was motivated by racism.

[GeronL]

I hope the kid has some police protection from the paddle cuz he might have some BRD on the way.

the other “swap” mother was on the news. She said the Father and the boys were rude and disrespectfull. She said the little 6 year old would “cuss and fart” all the time.

Do you keep your mom warm at night when daddys is away at war ? No my uncle Bob does best art linkletter ever

[allmost]

With cameras shoved in her face and me being the little punk that I was, those charges would be minor concerns. :)

[al baby]

Looks like my left nut after surfing

Thorbjoern Jagland says he believes the child will likely be the recipient of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

The old witches are on a hunt. The mere sight of a whole, real family other than their own sets them to foaming at their snouts.

[dragnet2]

The Dad completely weaved and dodged after the kid stated, “Um, you guys said we did this for a show.”

Man...That was brutal...Dad appeared to be twisting inside at that point, and the long pause was excruciating....

Real whole families don’t go on “reality” TV shows.
