Balloon Boy

As you have probably heard, Falcon Heene of Fort Collins, Colorado (my home town, unfortunatly) was allegedly sent up in a weather balloon and was later found in the attic of he Heene family's garage. Later when they interveiwed him, his mother and father asked him why he hadn't come out if he heard them calling, and he said, and i quote "Because you said we were doing it for the show". Later the public learned that the Heenes called the news station before they called the police. A few days later, the mom announced that it was all a hoax. The family had been on Wife Swap two times previously, and apparently wanted their own reality show. The best part is, the believe we are all decended from aliens. They did it all for a publicity stunt. My question is why? Why did you scare the nation like that for a stupid TV show? Why did you trust a six year old boy to keep it a secret? Why does Fort Collins have to be known for this, and not for the latest rock star, or pulitzer prize winner, or a cure for cancer or something good????? Thanks for making Coloradans the weirdies of the nation, Heene family! Thanks a lot!


*I believe in aliens too, but clearly not as avidly as they do.
