From what I heard on the radio this morning the boy slipped up and said it was for the show while he was getting interviewed. They also showed a tape of the thing floating away and you can tell the dad was acting. Someone going to get in trouble for this.

Once I heard his mom was on Wife Swap...I was suspicious.

Poor kid doesn't have a chance with parents like this.

Odd story, odd people. I guess it's not surprising if this was some sort of hoax.

I heard this on the radio first and when I dot home the first thing that came to mind was that thing could not lift a kid off the ground.

You could borrow the headline from DrudgeReport- "Loon Balloon: We Did This For A Show."

Yeah, and the kid said he did it so the family could get on TV. Are you kidding me? His dad said he told the kid he should not fool with the balloon, and he repeated it several times, meaning he planted the idea in the kid's head? The mother looked like she was trying to pull the line out of the kid when he was interviewed. Their neighbor said the family liked being on TV.
