Well it looks like the Heenes are going to get the attention they crave.  Hopefully it will end in a criminal conviction and some possible jail time.  Then I'm sure they will get more than their fair share of attention in prison.  Especially with Richard Heene's fine features.

Evidently, the whole faked fiasco also ruined a wheat field that supports another family.  I'm sure lawsuits will ensue.

These posers are just making it that much harder for people to believe the next time a kid floats off in a balloon.

It is very unfortunate that this whole story had to occur.

I was so worried while hearing about this boy and now to hear that it was a hoax is very disappointing. Hopefully the children will be ok after the stress they have been put through in this tragic event.

Your right Zin just caught this up with the story;pretty sad but red flags were there once you found out the history of this family

 I guess his next reality show is still going to be "WIFESWAP" though , just it will be in Colorado State penn. instead of ABC . Hehe.

This whole story makes me think of Twelve Monkeys... especially with the swine flue pandemic about to wipe humanity away.

Hmmm...

Little Timmy, hide in the attic and we'll let this giant freaky UFO hoax lookin balloon go and tell the cops we think you're in it then mommy and daddy can figure out a way to turn the publicity into a little cash....

Score!

I knew it.  I hope they file criminal charges against the scumbag parents and take their kids from them.

I think they are going to file Felony charges.Especially with all the emergency equipment and people tied up with this mess as well as the airport shut down.

 I really hope no one in drastic need of an ambulance died due to response time because of this fiasco

About this whole thing and the vid and the news story - no comment.  

Now you know why I wrote this.   As soon as saw this story I knew it had to be a set-up.    Something in me said, this is nothing but a publicity stunt.
