Was it all a publicity stunt? Yesterday evening, America breathed a collective sigh of relief as we learned that six-year-old Colorado resident, Falcon Heene -- aka Balloon Boy -- had not indeed plunged through the sky in a helium balloon contraption as had been previously reported. Instead, it was revealed that Falcon had been hiding in the family's attic in a box the whole time. Larry King Live nabbed an interview with the Heene family, in which Falcon may have let slip that it was all a stunt to promote the family's appearance on ABC reality show, 'Wife Swap'. Whoops.
Video below.
Update: The circus continues on the Today Show this morning when Falcon vomits during an interview.

Of course this whole thing was a hoax! The family talks about how much they are into science. Well...how could a flimsy balloon such as this carry the weight of a six-year-old aloft?! It’s obvious from looking at the footage that there’s nothing inside. And why did the boy puke, live, on national television. It’s because he’s been told to something he knows is wrong....like lie!!!! Shame on these parents!

Why are the parents asking this kid these questions now on live tv??? didnt they have time to talk to the kid in private??? Watch the mother acting all suprised when the kid says he heard the parents calling his name ... "ohhh,you did??" C'mon. If ur gonna lie on national TV at least get your stories right ...

How the hell can a white guy fall in love with a woman who can't even speak English??? That further rebuts the argument that these people are twisted.
