I was thinking that too. The parents are a bunch of nut jobs, just watch Wife Swap.

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

I'm honestly glad to hear this kid is ok, when I first heard the story the thought of a little kid falling out of a balloon was absolutely horrific to me.

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.
