Balloon Boy Busts Parents

Falcon Heene and his family were just on Larry King Live -- where he suggested his family set up the entire "boy trapped in a flying balloon" story, saying "You guys said that we did this for the show."



His father responded by saying "Man," his mom adding "No."

Wolf Blitzer didn't hear what the boy said and moved on to the next question.

The family appeared on the ABC show "Wife Swap" back in March.

3. I knew it didn't seem to make sense to me. I remember the episode of Wife Swap and that father was crazy. I guess they didn't have enough fame. http://www.stupidrightwingers.com

6. Nice fart.
I hope they make these people pay for the "rescue". They're disgusting human beings, and lousy parents. I don't know who would want to watch anything more with them in it.

7. Is the dad abusing the kids or something? I sure hope not, but it sort of seems that way. Why would a kid hide in a box in an attic if they thought they were in trouble if their dad was just going to scold them? Also, it makes it seem like maybe the whole things was planned..maybe so they could get publicity for their stupid flying saucer.

9. I was watching the show when the kid said that, and he totally busted the parents! You could tell the dad was horrified, and was struggling to cover it up. I think Wolf Blitzer was a little stunned by what he heard, but when they came back from commercial, he followed up on it with the dad. The dad, of course, acted all offended but he never would answer the question.
