Out of the mouths of babes

We've all read by now (and I've written twice) about the six year old and his family who believed him to be stuck in a helium filled balloon 8,000 ft. in the air.

The poor kid may never live down the nick name Balloon Boy.  What's more, it's now believed that the whole incident was orchestrated as a publicity stunt.  During a live interview last night the six year old looked at his parents and said "You guys said that... we did this for the show."

Naturally, I'm appalled.  I, along with many across America, saw this story and immediately feared the worst and took pity on the family.  To learn it was likely a stunt to garner attention for a reality show is akin to a slap in the face.  The first sign was when some reported that the family called news stations before they called emergency services.  At the time, I figured it to be rumor, but now it's a very telling sign.  That along with the interview below paints a pretty convincing picture.
