Bargain Balloons
The Larimer County Sheriff held a press conference today saying that they believe that Balloon Boy really was a hoax. According to KDVR he said, “We have evidence to indicate (the Heenes) were marketing themselves for a reality television show in the future,” adding later on “Clearly, we were manipulated by the family and the media was manipulated by the family.” He also said that criminal charges will be filed against Richard and Mayumi Heene. No word if and when child services will step in.
This is so sad, what this family has done for the desperation to be on TV. Is this what reality TV has done to people? They feel the need to fool the world that their son was carried away in over-sized Jiffy Pop balloon filled with helium just to get on TV again? If this is the future of people that are appearing on reality shows, maybe it is time to start cutting back big a$$ time. I mean it is getting weirder and weirder and the people are getting more and more out there. There has to be a point when we say enough is enough. But the problem is, I am not quite ready to stop watching. What to do??? Well for starters if they can prove in a court of law that this was a hoax, throw then in jail and make they work to pay off all the money it cost to search for their son who didn’t need to be looked for. And most importantly…don’t give them a show!!!
