Ten years before the Balloon Boy hoax, Richard Heene pulled an equally unfunny stunt -- only this time his kid really was in danger.
We've obtained footage of Richard Heene from 10 years ago -- trying to shove a cigar into his then infant son Bradford's mouth -- while posing him with an empty bottle of beer ... and it's all for the cameras.
At one point Mayumi can be heard telling him "No" -- but Richard doesn't stop ... seemingly obsessed with getting what he thinks is the perfect shot.
P.S. -- We apologize in advance for Richard's incredibly grating, beyond annoying baby talk.
The beer filled pics poured into our SHOCK-TOBERFEST Contest like it was the Haufbrau beer tent! So enjoy the sloppy snapshots -- and don't forget to take a few Tylenol before you crash out to help with the hangover.

The worst waiter in the history of existence, who gives waiters everywhere a terrible name, who has no future in the service industry -- but whom Paula Abdul would have probably loved -- dropped a case of beer on his way into Simon Cowell's 50th birthday bash last night, partially soaking his beloved Rolls.
It is every man's fantasy to have Megan Fox bring them a beer -- and a few lucky SOBs actually got to live it out on Friday night.
Megan was a celebrity bartender at an event at Sonny McLean's in Santa Monica to raise money for a charity called Team Stacie. Megan's on-again/off-again BF Brian Austin Green was scheduled to be there -- Megan was just an added bonus.
Muslims eager to hear "I Gotta Feeling" for the ten millionth time at a Black Eyed Peas concert in Kuala Lumpur will now get their chance -- the Malaysian government just reversed their decision banning Muslims from the show.
As we previously reported, the Guinness-sponsored Peas concert was previously only open to "non-Muslims aged 18 years and above" -- because Islamic law forbids the consumption of alcohol.
But here's the rub: Even though Guinness is sponsoring the event for their 250th anniversary -- authorities now won't allow the booze giant to sell their delicious stout brew or publicize their logo, this according to the BBC.
So more Peas and less brew ... we're not sure who wins here.
Michael Phelps may not have been at fault for his car accident this week, but he wasn't exactly squeaky clean, either.
Phelps will be cited for driving with an expired license, which was from Michigan, the NY Post is reporting. Phelps will have to appear before a judge, though no date has been set so far.
Phelps also admitted to police he had a beer about an hour before the crash. He was not given a Breathalyzer test on scene.
Phelps was involved in a two-car accident in Baltimore on Thursday. It was ruled the other driver ran a red light, causing the wreck.
Windell Middlebrooks, the guy who plays the delivery man in the Miller beer commercials, knows a good gig when he's got one -- and not even the temptation of a nice cold Hefeweizen could get him to cheat on the High Life.
Anything Shauna Sand can manage to wrap those inflatable lips around these days is a miracle. Her latest victim -- a bottle of Tecate at a party in Los Angeles. We're guessing she's done that before.
After seeing boring daddy-to-be Matthew McConaughey do nothing but make the rounds with his pregnant GF -- he finally shed his baggy clothes, grabbed a beer and hit the beach.
A New Zealand college student has created what can only be described as the most important beverage-related invention ever.
Tired of lugging an ice chest to the beach with his mates, 22-year old student Kent Hodgson, created a portable device that cools beer in a matter of moments.
The Huski utilizes a pen-sized plastic cooling cell that is placed in a dock. The dock is filled with pressurized liquid CO2, which expands to create dry ice in the cooling cell. The cell is then dropped into a beer bottle and, voila, you have yourself a frosty beverage!
Confused? Don't worry -- all that matters is that your beer is cold. He plans on selling the device for $50.
When you're enjoying a sporting event or concert, nothing kills the excitement like having to pay $10 for a beer. If only there were a better way.
The Beerbelly high tech beer dispenser is just what the alcoholic on the go ordered! If you're completely secure with your body image, you can wear this "belly" under your shirt, which resembles, well, a beer belly. It's the alcohol equivalent of a pregnancy suit, but instead of the miracle of life, you receive the miracle of inexpensive spirits ready to be transferred -- from one belly to another!
The next time you're in the stands rooting for your favorite team, the money you save with your new "Beerbelly" can go toward more important things, like hot dogs and nachos ... or a giant foam finger.

Sometimes when celebs go green, it just means they're snagging a 12-pack of Heineken.
