I think so. Especially after the kid saying they "did it for the show" on Larry King.

Yes! That dad is a psycho I'm sure he told the boy he had to lie about it! What did you think about him barfing twice on TV and the reporter and his dad just going on with the interview :O

I believe that it was a hoax for publicity. Hundreds of thousand of dollars were spent chasing the balloon for 70 miles and searching for the boy. I think the father (and the mother if she is involved) should face criminal charges and be ordered to make restitution to the taxpayers if found guilty.

I couldn't agree more, to me this was a poorly planned hoax
it just shows how far people are willing to for publicity.

Re: Balloon Boy A Hoax?
I thought this whole story was pretty lame from the get-go. I mean...sure....the kid is cute and all, but his parents are total asses. I have no doubt in my mind that this was all a hoax.
