      Oh my God! These people are SO lying! They can't get out of how to deal with the kid's response! "You guys said…" and when the dad asked about didn't you hear us calling, the kid looked at the mom and looking like "but you told us to do this!" I hope the next thing I hear about these assholes is that they are all in jail, kids with grandparents (because who would want any of them)…although in Obama's America they'll get their own reality show.

      Oh boy. So I just watched a video of a Today Show interview, which must have been taped this morning, and while interviewing and asking the dad if what transpired was a hoax, two of the kids were shown there propped up, they were asleep, and then suddenly balloon boy became SICK AND VOMITED right on live TV! And he kept vomiting! This is just so wrong in so many levels. So very wrong, and the kids are not presented well, they all look dirty (including the parents). This is just a mess. A mess. I tell you.



    3. 203

      sad, sad, sad. so many people were worried for his safety, when he wasnt found in the baloon i personally was freaking out, thinking the worst. i cant believe this was a hoax!!!



    4. 204

      This is SICK!!!! Shame on the parents and anyone who had anything to do this Sick prank!!



    5. 205

      This is awful! I have a question… if the boys is always hiding and cowering down - WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY DOING TO HIM????? The dad's response made no sense… blabbering on about wanting some candy at the store and always falling behind - what an ass of a family these people have!



    6. 206

      They'll probably get billed by the government. People who get airlifted by helicopter by the military usually do, I think.

      Re: Normies –

      I love kids. Especially when they're so innocent at this age, they don't know what the fuck lying is.



    8. 208

      What happened to prank calls to pizza joints and randomely dialing numbers and hanging up?
      When I was a kid we would play nicky nicky nine doors, hide and seek and tag.
      I completely blame the parents, they should be charged.



    9. 209

      The parents are the worst liars I've seen. I loved the father's reaction when the kid said "I did it for the show". Stutter and stammer much Dad? Dumb breeders.



    10. 210

      apparently the interviewer asked what the kid meant about "did it for the show" once when the cameras were off and the dad got irate. I hope these people get charged for the waste of tax payers money.



    11. 211

      I'm glad the boy is ok, but these parents need to be in jail. Just for the fact that they have that thing in thier back yard.



    12. 212

      i think the kid is confused, and you are mislead.. i dont think that is what he meant.. i dont think this was a hoax



    13. 213

      @OVER: "The dad and mom knew damn well the kid was not in the balloon. He built it and the kid must weight like what..50 lbs and that flimsy thing can barely hold on more than a couple of lbs. Also there was never a box for the kid to get in. They knew that. Really lame." I AGREE WITH THIS! Also, Every time they ask the question on the morning shows about the "We did it for the show" comment the poor kid pukes! I feel bad for the kids having their parents making them lie about this.



    14. 214

      HAHAHAHAH 0:44 farrrrrrrt
      so jokes

      215

      THat's american news for you.. TO use SCARE TACTICS and ENTERTAINMENT rather then show americans what is really going on… Glad I dont' live there.. what a false hollywood story….fake fake fake.



    16. 216

      So… the Dad's just not going to address the fact that his son just outed the fact that they made Falcon do that for a show? The Dad instead just explains how his son typically cowards in his presence out of fear? Ya, that's something you announce on TV… CPS, where are you?!?



    17. 217

      LMFAO yu heard the dad exhale like " shit ! " & the mom was like " NO ! NO ! " & falcon was like i did somethinq bad huh ?
      but really they should be arrested for that !

    18. nhamo says – reply to this


      218

      when Falcon said, "You guys said it was for a show!" Dad gets a look on his face like, "FML, so busted!" The mother & father need the shit slapped out of them. Complete bullshit.



    19. 219

      One of them definitely cracked a rat during this interview… unfortunately, that was the most intelligent thing anyone in this family said.



    20. 220

      People like this are disgusting and should be sent a bill for all the time and money wasted on this. Instead of protecting our streets, our police were out watching a stupid ballon in which the kid wasn't even in there. It was all just a hoax, and for that, they should pay. That's ridiculous.



    21. 221

      Ugh that was SO AKWARD to watch! It made me cringe when the dad was talking.



    22. 222

      Well, I guess we all know who Colorado is going to be sending the bill to. What a group of dumbasses.



    23. 223

      Oh what a shock. Not. But Mr. Perez, thank you for popping this up today, totally made my morning!! x



    24. 224

      I feel no sympathy or remorse for that kid or his ridiculous father. I've seen them on Wife Swap and they are cuckoo!! And you can plainly hear the kid say "we did it for the show" and you could also see the dad get uncomfortable. He did pause for a second to try to cover it up hoping that no one would hear that remark. I wonder how long this story will run?!?!?!?!?!



    25. 225

      Does anypne remember the movie Mosquito Coast? the dad was an inventor who took the family to the jungle and bascially went nuts….sound familar. I am sure that child services will pay a visit. The whole "did it the for the show" thing could really be any show since the family seems to be fame whores….but its the mothers reaction (like coaching him) and the dad stumbling. Hate to say it, but it does seem like a hoax……either that or the family really is crazy!!



    26. 226

      this really is fucked up! watch… someone will now offer them a reality show!



    27. 227

      he did NOT say that!!

      A cameraman said that when interviewing him..
      What's with this "mob rule" mentallity????

      As adults teacing your children - you should wait & get your facts straight before jumping to conclusions!!



    28. 228

      This family is full of shit! It was reported by Fox 5 that the mother informed news official that he might be hidding in the house! Seriously! this family is crazy and want some fame! The family said that had video tape that showed the kid get in but the son said on Diane Swayer say that he went under. This people are insane!



    29. 229

      OMG - they did this for a STUNT?!?!?!? They should be fucking arrestet and fined and/or jailed! Law enforcement need to make an example of these people before other idiots try to do other similar things for attention and get someone seriously injured or killed. This wasted people's time and effort to rescue someone that was not in danger. What if one of the would-be rescuers had been injured or killed? At the least, the manpower and resources were wasted and people who genuinely needed (or may need help in the future) would not get the attention they deserve while law enforcement was engaged in these time-wasting acivities and wasting funds on this too. JERKS!!!



    30. 230

      This is one of the funniest videos, so much to love! LOLLLLLL



    31. 231

      Re: Quemical – that kid made that noise with his mouth ,stupid fucks



    32. 232

      my brothers Eagle and Hawk find nothing wrong with this



    33. 233

      they are nothing but fame whores but to do that to your child tell him to go into the attic and not come out for hours "for the show" while our tax money is going to finding this child. This is flat out child abuse and they should be arrested and made to pay back all the resources they used up. Disgusting parents



    34. 234

      wow. what horrible, horrible people. there's a difference between kate putting her kids on television and these two saying they're kid is in serious danger and might be fucking dead!



    35. 235

      was that a fart at :44?



    36. 236

      I remember this guy from wife swap right away because he was just as crazy on that show too. LOSER



    37. 237

      Father is a HORRIBLE liar. Mother is a fucked up mail order bride. Kids look STUPID. Whole thing is fucked up.

      Re: callmedimitra –

      No, you're not…I have no sympathy for dumb children.



    39. 239

      Re: WritetoPixie – That's what I was thinking as well. But I guess we'll never really know what he meant.

    42. 242

      I'm pissed off… I was prayin for the balloon to land safely and so the kid could pop out of the balloon and now it's all a hoax??
      It's not remotely funny at all I don't see where the joke would be accepted…
      Scaring ppl half to death is funny to you??
      Ok…..



    43. 243

      ha! the dad totally tried to dodge the question.



    44. 244

      haha he should have got one of the older boys to do it that way they would at least understand not to tell anyone. What a douche. As soon as this is investigated and they interview the little boy he is going to spill all.



    45. 245

      The dad is full of bullshit!!! Poor kid



    46. 246

      kids tell the truth!! look at the asshole dad's reaction!! i never trust guys with asians wives!! they like to control!! he's fucking creep!!



    47. 247

      These people are so full of crap it's sad, and scary. I'm no expert but I can tell they are lying from 1,000 miles away…..



    48. 248

    49. 249

      I remember him on Wife Swap! He was SUCH a pig!



    50. 250

      What a hoax. The parents are clearly fame-whores. Poor kids have NO chace in Hell of ever being normal. Falcon will forever be remembered as "Balloon Boy".



    51. 251

    52. 252
