Balloon boy father Richard Heene called a press conference today outside his home in Fort Collins, Colorado, and told reporters that the balloon drama involving his son, Falcon, was, “Absolutely no hoax.” Heene also asked reporters to write down their questions for him, place them in a box, and he would answer them later.

LMAO. Write their questions down, put them in a box and he’d answer them later?? Guess this nutjob needs a lot of time to think up his lies.
More like he’ll have his lawyer write the answers to the questions. This guy is a moron, and is a publicity whore.
Wow, fantastic blog frmaot! How lengthy have you ever been running a blog for? you make running a blog look easy. The total look of your site is fantastic, let alone the content!
im getting very disturbed by our culture of publicity whores. whats even more irritating are the amount of them that use offspring to help get it.
Please stop giving these whackos the publicity they are seeking so desperately.
Did he punctuate his comment with a fart? Cause that’s what he did on CNN. And it was awesome.
that father annoys me so much. i saw a youtube video of the family on larry king or something and i just didn’t like what he said because it’s probably not the truth. those poor kids. i sure hope they don’t get a reality show for the kids sake. these parents are exploiting their children and they don’t even have a reality show yet(and hopefully never will). the dad said in that video that he didn’t want to do anymore interviews but decided to do that one as the last one, but i’m sure they’ll do more. i feel bad for their kids.
This design is inbcedirle! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
PLEASE EW stop covering this!!! You are only feeding this fame-whore’s appetite for media attention!!! This story is neither entertainment or news.
It saddens me how easily the media can be manipulated by people. The media are eating out of this guys hand.
what really astounds me is the fact that the only people who seem to be buying this crap is the media and the idiot sherriff’s dept. 90% of the actual public see what a complete hoax it was. It is laughable but completely frightening at how stupid the media is acting.
i agree sara.
Wacko or No-Wacko, at least it was a relief to NOT hear about those two REAL publicity whores Jon and Kate!
The boy was found hiding in the home’s ggarae Thursday afternoon, hours after the balloon launched and traveled more than 50 miles.Good Lord, if any child of mine so feared me he would hide literally for hours in fear of my wrath over anything, let alone untying a balloon, somebody had bloody well better comea0and rescue mya0child.VA:F [1.9.13_1145]please wait…VA:F [1.9.13_1145](from 0 votes)
This just in: charges are being filed in the Balloon Boy case. Looks like we will be stuck with this nutjob for a while to come.
Hey, Charles, One of the biggest tighns holding me back is that even though the knowledge I have to share in the Health/Recovery area is good enough , I am not confident in making my own videos. I have many years experience and have been a NetWork Marketer for over 30 years but the fact that I haven’t made a HUGE amount of money yet ..stops me from Just Doing It . Making my own videos, I mean. I have YouTube, Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter accounts, but still haven’t uploaded any of the 12 Videos I made yet. HOW do you do your FIRST ONE? What steps did you take to get over the fear factor? Thanks for any feedback and I look forward to your Teleseminar. I long to hold one of my own one day .Blessings, Dolly
They’ve done it! Beaten Jon and Kate as the most hated couple on the planet!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rtaehr sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Sterilize the parents and put the kids up for adoption. If anyone’s ever wondered if one family can be that stupid, look no further. These idiots make the Gosselins look like the Von Trapp family!
And I’M “pslightly psycho??!” This couple is obsessed with fame, they are clearly mentally ill, and the parents deserve to go to jail. Can’t wait for THAT reality show…
