re: 6 year old reported floating away in helium balloon

It really does look like a publicity stunt and I thought that when the first post went up and then again this morning when they showed the family being interviewed.

It was all a bit to stilted for me to believe it was not a setup.

Not just that, they should be billed for the 2 helicoptors fuel and for shutting an airport

Anyone else think those tears sound very fake? And the middle kid keeps shaking his head and tells his brother "don't say" when the father asks him what happened....

More of the interview where the kid says about it being for the show....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF7vfyVoNkE

There's a definite squeaky bum moment at 44 seconds just after the lad said that. Don't know if it was the Mum or Dad but the Mum mumbled something like no, possibly to cover up the noise of the fart.:D

He said he further believed that the parents were legitimately worried about their son's well-being and that it did not appear to be a hoax or publicity stunt.

The link has a recording of the 911 call in it for anyone that's interested

Well, those who suspected a hoax, take a gold star and go to the top of the class.
