Balloon boy a hoax?

I was a bit cynical yesterday, but the more evidence I see, the more I believe that the launch was a hoax designed to gain attention. The family was taping the balloon launch yesterday and their doesn’t seem to be any way that the boy could have been inside the balloon.

I noted yesterday that I doubted a helium balloon of that size could carry a 6-year child. Watch this snippet from CNN last night where Falcon Heene, when asked why he hid, said “We did it for a show.” Coupled with what looks like bad acting on behalf of his parents, I’m beginning to think that this family, who are no strangers to self-promotion on televsion, conducted a hoax to attract attention.
