"Authorities: 'Balloon boy' incident was a hoax"

"'You guys said we did this for the show,' the boy responded."
That's all Balloon boy needed to say to his parents during a national TV interview for many people's suspicions to be confirmed. Apparently yes, the infamous "Balloon boy" was conned into this little escapade by this parents, though investigators are still looking further into the case to be certain. If it was indeed a hoax, I can't really say that I'm mad - the whole scandal provided me with some entertainment for the day - but authorities probably are not as entertained. Pending further investigation, both misdemeanor and felony charges may be issued as a result, and child services has even been called to see if the Heenes are fit to raise their three children, ages 6, 8, and 10. All I can really say is, that's one hell of a messy publicity stunt.
