Sounds like another Wife Swap encore is in order for this clever family. Either that, or a visit by Child Protection Services.
Yesterday in our story “Publicity stunt or coincidence? Balloon Boy has a video called “I’m Not Pussified,” we suggested that the story was a publicity stunt. But trying to be sensitive to the family, just in case we were wrong, we posed this as a question rather than a charge. Well, we were right. Just listen to not-so-crafty-after-all little co-conspirator Falcon cause his parents Richard and Mayumi to freeze in shock as he tells CNN’s Wolfe Blitzer that “We did this for a show.”

Update: Here’s a clip of Wolfe Blitzer coming back to Falcon’s comment, gently asking for clarification. We’re no body language experts, but we’d say he knows he was busted big time. Given Wolfe’s performance on Celebrity Jeopardy last month, we’re lucky he even picked up on the slip.
Is it just us or does anyone else smell a big fat publicity stunt here? C’mon, the family’s already been on Wife Swap, the cheesiest show on television, twice.

C’mon, the family’s already been on Wife Swap, the cheesiest show on television, twice. Falcon Heene (yes, that’s Balloon Boy’s real name) has a music video called “I’m Not Pussified.” And now he’s supposedly gone up in a runaway balloon shaped like a flying saucer.
If this isn’t a publicity stunt, young Balloon Boy has lead a very eventful six years.
