Spoilers & Vomit: Balloon Boy Day #2

Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 11:23 AM

Sean mentioned this in Good Morning, News, but you all deserve video.

During an interview last night on CNN, the balloon boy's father asked the balloon boy why he didn't reveal himself when he heard people calling for him. The balloon boy replied by saying "it was for the show."


And during this morning's Today show, the balloon boy vomited on camera while his father swore to Meredith Viera that this is not a hoax.

Oh man. Move over Jon & Kate: The Heene family have instantly become my favorite TV characters.

"This is starting to tick me off so much that I'm going to keep doing these interviews. I can't believe you people with your questions about something my son said in an interview."

Anyone who wonders if this was indeed a hoax needs to watch the hilarious episode of Wife Swap these freaks appeared on.
