Ballon Boy Hoax


The saga of the "balloon boy" seems to be coming to a close.   The country was fascinated and watched on pins and needles to find out what would become of the boy that was reported to be trapped in a homemade weather balloon.  The father, Richard Keene, a reality show veteran from Wife Swap,  called 911 frantic that his son was trapped in the balloon.  Maybe the fact that they were seen in hair and make-up moments before the crew arrived should have been a clue, not to mention the teleprompter.
Now they are waiting to see if charges will be filed.  This was all done to promote a reality TV show the media starved parents were trying to sale.  I am going to pitch a show about dogs surviving trauma.  I am going to fake a 911 call that our dog  has been nabbed and is being held for ransom.  I will wait a few days to build the drama and have the dog secretly released from a posh dog salon. 
I can then drag my traumatized dog to every morning  show,  who will then vomit on cue when Diane Sawyer ask them to show her on the chart where the abductors touched him inappropriately.
