"Balloon Boy"...

...so did you hear about that little boy and the big balloon in Colorado? Well if you didn't, apparently this family had this hot air balloon and it was suddenly in the sky and flying around cause one kid said he saw his little brother get in it. It was assumed that the brother would be in the balloon's basket but once they located the balloon they realized that the brother wasn't there so this started a massive manhunt for this kid. It was breaking news around the world and most people pictured the worst, possibly he had fallen out along the way?...very horrible. Anyways, when the family got back home after frantically searching around for this kid they found him at home. Apparently he had hid in the shed the whole time. The family was interviewed on CNN and the interviewer asked the kid if he had heard the parents calling for him. The kid answered that he had and then the interviewer asked him why he didn't come out. He answers, reluctantly in my opinion, "you guys said we did this for a show". HELLO HOAX! I can't believe that parents would be so desperate to be famous or be in the spotlight that they would stage all this and have their kids lie to police and the whole world. If it's true that it was a complete farce then I think the parents should be charged with something cause clearly there's something wrong. How awful is that? Here's the link to the clip where the kid says this, live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6UONWCq7A&feature=player_embedded

Seems a little fishy to me...
