Regardless of what the news agencies say, This is the most entertaining story of 2009 so far. And I love what the internet has done with it so far. I have chuckled quietly a few times :)

The more you find out about this family; the more they are absolutely insane. I'm reminded of the wonderful movie "The Burbs" with Tom Hanks


Do you know your neighbors?

What a bullshit story

And the saga continues

And we als have headlines reading
John Mayer, Kanye West, Adolf Hitler Bring on the Balloon Boy Parodies!

Comments made by Falcon during a CNN interview stoked the idea the family could have been planning the balloon incident as a hoax to get attention.

From KUSA-TV in Denver
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A man whose experimental balloon took off and raced across the Colorado sky on Thursday — reportedly with that man's 6-year-old son aboard — says he plans to give a "big announcement" at 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

The Heene family is at the center of a saga after news crews from around the globe and law enforcement from around the state were duped into thinking the man's son, Falcon Heene, was flying across the state in the wayward, helium-filled, saucer-shaped balloon. The boy later turned up hours later hiding in the family's attic above their garage.

"I'm going to have a press conference out here at, let's say, 10 a.m. Okay?" Richard Heene said outside his home around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday. "So it's a few more hours. So, I'd like to speak everybody about a few things. Okay? So, it's a big announcement."

Comments made by Falcon during a CNN interview stoked the idea the family could have been planning the balloon incident as a hoax to get attention.

"You said we did this for a show," Falcon said to his parents during the interview, after his father asked why he didn't comes down from the attic earlier.

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden, who says he and his trained investigators believed the family's story, says the recent CNN comments have "raised everybody's level of skepticism" and he hopes to interview the entire family again on Saturday.

Despite receiving a groundswell of calls and e-mails about the incident, Alderden says they "have to operate on what we can prove as a fact and not what people want to be done."

A previous appearance on ABC's reality TV show "WifeSwap" has also raised speculation about the possibility the family just sought attention with the runaway balloon.

Should the f**king world stop spinning for a f**king kid?? It's utter pathetic regardless if its a haox or not.

Should it? No, did it... absolutely!

You can't pay for that kind of advertising. Think about it. What took Ozzy and his family 30+ years to do, Balloon Boy's family has done in a single weekend. There needs to be a new reality show for this crazy family. :P One or two episodes of wife-swap just aren't enough! You have to realize how creative this guy is.

TLC used to be a good learning channel, and now consist mostly of reality show. Makeovers/Swaps/Jon and Kate crap....

Balloon boy's ... beasty boys style rap

my ears.........
