Ballon Boy Hoax: Exposed

Falcon Heene, aka Balloon Boy, is the poor six year-old who was used as an attention-grabbing prop to satisfy his dysfunctional parents. The family has appeared on Wife Swap twice, and they've wasted no time giving interviews, naturally.

CNN's Wolfe Blitzer asks the Heene family if Balloon Boy heard his parents calling his name while he was hiding and Falcon's dad asks his publicity magnet "Did you hear us calling your name at any time?" and Falcon replies, "Uh huh." Then Richard and his wife kind of freeze, and ask Falcon, "You did?"

Falcon then confesses, "You guys said that we did this for the show."

There ya go, folks! The dad then goes on to stutter some nonsensical crap, trying to cover up the bombshell revelation.

We were all hoping that Falcon was safe. But the entire situation sounded very suspect when it was reported that Falcon's brother saw Falcon fly away and then shortly before the balloon landed there were reports that Falcon may have fallen out - something ya gotta say considering that the balloon's gonna drop without a kid inside. Then Falcon's parents claimed that their son was hiding in the house? Wouldn't they have searched the house first before calling the authorities?

These parents are sick, but I seriously think they should look into script writing!
