Balloon Boy Admits "It Was For the Show"

It's been all over the news today. First, we got the news that a six year-old boy was trapped inside a home-made hot air-type balloon alone flying thousands of feet up in the air. When the balloon was finally taken down by police, they found out that the boy was not in the balloon... after hours of searching for the boy he was found in his home's garage attic. The report was that he hid after letting the balloon go because he was afraid he would get in trouble. Now, after a live interview... the little six year-old accidentally blabbed that his parents told him they did this "for the show". The family has been part of the ABC show Wife-Swap twice.

Shame on this family. I hope there's some kind of legal punishment for staging the whole thing. It's disgusting they would use their own children for fame. Check out the video above where the boy admits it was all for a show.
