Balloon Boy story has been determined to be a hoax (Video)

Sorry ass parents, that is all I can say. What is more important to me is these kids on these reality shows, like the train wreck of Jon and Kate plus 8, in which Jon now wants the kids off the tube. Look, when the kid said this was done for the show on CNN, that was a done deal for many on this family. Lastly, how do you keep a child who is obvious sick and throwing up not on one national morning show, but two, because of PUBLICITY? These parents should pay every dime of restitution to the county and federal agencies, period. And cable tv, when are you going to start vetting shit like this on television? You're a culprit in all of this, too.

The balloon boy hoax, at least is seems like a hoax to me

My husband said yesterday, "this was set up for television." I was not willing to go that far, because everyone was glued to their sets about that balloon in the air with a six year old. After watching some of the morning programs and the little boy did not come out because his father said, "it was for the show." Enough.

The Heene Family was on the reality show, Wife Swap and from what I have heard and read, the family did not come across as all sweetness and nice. I guess for some people, they just can not get enough publicity. And watch the Today Show clip, the child looks sick, his eyes are closed and he THROWS UP in the middle of the interview on the show. No pity for these parents at all. Lastly, the family called the MEDIA FIRST.

And here is a contestant talking about the father from the Heene Family from Wife Swap and Richard Heene sounds like a nut:
