Poor Balloon Boy. Poor, sweet innocent little Balloon Boy. He's now 14 and pro-Trump, although you can't tell the depth of his political commitment. He probably feels some guilt over sending both his parents to jail. His idiot father still denies it was a hoax--he says he only pled guilty so his wife wouldn't be deported.
As you may recall, eight years ago, Richard Heene "accidentally" released a large, homemade helium balloon, then called 911 because they thought his six-year-old son, Falcon, might be in it.
Police and National Guard helicopters chased the balloon for a couple of hours. It was covered live on TV. The thing finally landed, but there was no Balloon Boy. Horrified police though he might have fallen out.
But, no, thank God---the little fellow was hiding in the attic the whole time.
The family appeared on TV a few times. Falcon threw up into a waste basket during one interview. The day before, his parents repeated a question to him that Wolf Blitzer asked. Why didn't he come out of the attic when he heard people looking for him?
"You guys said we did it for a show," Falcon said.
His father was trying to get a reality show about his storm chasing and amateur science crap. He made the fatal error of entering into a criminal conspiracy with a kindergartener.
Balloon Boy's father got 90 days in jail and his mother 20 days.
The family had already appeared on the show Wife Swap. One clip showed his father either in an incoherent rage or thinking he was being terribly funny or both:

My God, he's an idiot.
So, anyway, Balloon Boy and his brothers have some sort of heavy metal band now called "The Heene Boyz". Here's their tune about the Balloon Boy hoax:

And here (despite their mother being an immigrant with a criminal record) is their pro-Trump song:
