"Balloon Boy" Falcon Henne (who I suppose should really be called
"Attic Boy") created controversy on "Larry King Live" when he
seemed to admit that yesterday's bizarre episode was an
elaborate hoax. "We did this for show," the 6-year old said,
though his father later angrily denied the suggestion that it was
a publicity stunt. Yesterday, our resident Wife Swap
expert Shawn Macomber
wrote of the reality show the Henne's starred in, "trust me
when I tell you that when you see either of this family's
Wife Swap episodes, you will have absolutely no problem
understanding how this happened."
Well, one of those episodes has now been posted on YouTube in
five parts, and having scanned through them, I'd have to concur
with Shawn. Interestingly, one sublot in the episode is the
father's attempts to build a flying saucer. Here is part 1 of the
show, you can click on if you want to watch more:
