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. 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.
Update: Balloon Boy to Wolfe Blitzer: “We did it for the show”
