Hypocrisy in America: We all would have claimed our child was in a homemade hot air balloon to get a reality TV show, if only we'd thought of it first




Authorities now believe that Richard Heene used his six year old son, Balloon Boy, in an elaborate stunt in an attempt to attract attention for his reality TV show, and a hypocritical America is feigning disgust even though any one of us would have done the exact same thing. Larimer County Sheriff, James Alderden, is planning on filing charges after suspicions grew about the veracity of the Heene's claim that they thought their son was in a homemade weather balloon that flew haphazardly at several thousands feet last week, riveting a clearly bored nation. "We now believe this to be a hoax," announced Alderden in his now daily press briefing. "We believe that it's no coincidence that the child's name is Balloon Boy, and that this involved a balloon. What are the chances that a boy actually named 'Balloon Boy' would accidentally get stuck in a balloon? We think nil."
