.

first of all, the balloon has an UFO shape (and no one makes an UFO-shaped balloon to fly with) and, second, the balloon was incredibly small to lift a boy (as every journalists should know)

the balloon was so small, that, also the claim that it lifted the home's cat, would be completely untrue!

Getting ratted on Larry King Live by your 6 year old: priceless.

I'll bet they get let off charges after the media company who are footing the bill make a 'donation' to the right place. They should be banged up for this disgusting charade.

Well, what happens to the kids, if the parents go to jail?
