I bet the wife swap people at ABC are pretty upset now, knowing that their “reality show” was punked by a couple of actors.
I know that those “reality shows” don’t have a lot of moral standing, but at least they have pretended up til now that we are seeing REAL PEOPLE. Not any more.
To: BulletBobCo
I don’t think it was a hoax.
Now where can I buy one of those backyard saucer ballons?

Can you imagine how those kids will grow up with parents like that? They are like the movie Grifters where the family traveled around and scammed people.
I heard the search cost 2 million. Some say thousands. The two helicopters alone were $23,000.
One of Heenes friends said the attic the boy was in, he could not have gone in without help.

Well, DUH, Sheriff. Two days after everybody else knew it... The article states that the sheriff was not letting on that he knew this was a hoax.

Do you think it may have been a self-esteem issue with the poor little 6 year old? /s I say let’s take him, along with his parents, behind the woodshed.

SNL had a little model of the balloon invade the set when Weekend Update was going on - kinda funny. It was obviously a Mylar balloon turned on its side with a little silver cup attached.

The sheriff even said his guys were trained in body language and the parents were telling the truth.

I never thought the balloon would have enough lift to carry a 50lb child.
To: Rennes Templar
does it have to be lifesized? Jiffy pop would give you a model of one. hahahaha!

"It has been determined that this is a hoax," the sheriff said, adding police "believe we have evidence at this point that it was a publicity stunt" by the family in hopes of "better marketing themselves for a reality show at some point in the future." It's all about me......me, me, me.
I can tie up emergency services, scare the hell out of millions of people and waste substantial amounts of taxpayers' money because it might earn me a few extra dollars.
These people are the poster children for the new America; utterly self-absorbed and narcissistic.
I hope this jerk of a father serves significant time in the hoosegow.
