MADE FOR TV HOAX
The Heene family is definitley a prime example of using a stunt to try to gain publicity. If you didnt know the Heene family story aka the "baloon boy" story is about this family who bulid a flying air balloon and allegedy said there son Falcon Heene took off in it. Okay as odd as this story is lets take a look at the facts. The family has been on the television series Wife swap twice so lets just say that makes them a reality show family, there son is 6 years old and they have two other boys around the same age. When the boy was missing Richard Heene is father called up the hews first before the police. hmmmmmmm that seems a bit fishy why would you call up a news station before you call officials? Well it turns out the boy never was on the baloon and was hiding some where in the basement. When interviewed by the new station Falcon age 6 stated that he was told by his parents that he was doing this for a show. WOW they definitley got caught. Okay but who should pay for this huge scandal should id be the Media? Or should it be Mr. And Mrs. Heene. It was said that the Media might have known about the hoax and wanted in on the story. Just as Kanye at the awards I feel like this was a publicity stunt to gain more exposure for the family and I feel like someone should pay but I dont think the media should be one of them at the end of they day there doing what they are paid to do keep news coming.

I don't feel sorry for the Heene's because they blew it up on themselfs. If they had tried to promote thier invention in an honest way probably they would get some attention from a possible buyer. But why would anyone want to invest in something that you could hardly control? The parents definately deserve whatever penalties they get. I only feel sorry the kids. Because they're being subjected to soo much bad publicity. It makes you think of the types of things that the other children at thier school might about say bout them. And they could be viewed as "the kids who blew thier parents up on national televsion". In a way its kind of sad.
