Mark my words...

I don't want to straight-up say that this whole balloon boy thing is a scam, but im' 99% sure it is. The kid busts his parents on CNN last night, he appeared drugged-up and vomited on the Today Show this morning. All im' saying is that there is a very high chance the dad ends up in jail.

And, pro tip for the family. You probably shouldn't leak footage of the balloon launch to the media. How exactly does ABC News have footage of the balloon taking off?

And finally, the fame-whoring family has apparently been shopping networks to do a reality show about them.

Actually, lets put that at 99.99% chance the dad goes to jail.
