Yesterday I think a good portion of us stopped in our busy day to watch this balloon travel for a few hours with the horror that a little 6 yr old boy name Falcon was in. In the end it turned out that he was NOT in the balloon but hiding in a box in his attic. Mean while airports were shut down, the military was alerted, plans were being made to get him down and tons and tons of people sat in horror praying.

Fast forward it till after he was found ok. Now we are learing that this is a family that looks like they love publicity. They have been on wife swap (more then once) and its making folks wonder. What I found strange was the dad when the balloon was rescued said he was in his home office and watched it on TV - ummm excuse me - you were home???? As a parent I would be frantically chasing a balloon with my car or doing something but not sitting in my house that is for sure.

Last night they were on Larry King live being interviewed when the little boy said he did it for the "TV show". Ahhhhh really now so are we doing this as a publicity stunt again I must ask? If you missed it here is the interview on Larry King Live

Then on the Today Show they once again interviewed them. I felt bad for the kid he threw up on live TV - yeah I was watching that one. What was also strange was the parents continued to talk as poor Falcon was puking. The Today show did stop the interview so they could clean him up then continued it. The dad in the second part did cry but in my opinion it was a fake cry and a bad fake at that. Here is the clip from the Today Show

So what are your thoughts? I guess there will be a investigation to look into it, in my opinion they should. Who should pay for this rescue?
