    crazy video.. but shouldn't it be to the tune of Fallout Boy?

    heyo. god, i gotta stop.

    MY THEORY... the two older brothers are 9 and 8 years old,,, and you can totally see them coming up w an idea to tell their parents that the 6 yr old was in it,, but it being a joke on the parents. Not realizing it would be such a massive ordeal.

    Hahaha!!LMAO Sunny.
    Was this the child's own choice or did someone literally put him in and tell him it's allowed..

    hahaha sunny,, so true. The man in the yellow hat woulda been PISSED.

    the story is that one of his brothers alerted a neighbor that the kid went in there. aka... he made it up and a little prank on their parents got outta hand. That's my theory at least.

    The family was on Wife Swap. Here is some info from
    Reality Blurred


    Falcon Heene’s parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, were called “the storm-chasing, science-obsessed Heene” family by ABC when they appeared on the show’s 100th episode. (Update: The page just vanished from ABC’s web site.) In a press release about the episode, ABC said this:

    “When the Heene family aren’t chasing storms, they devote their time to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm. In this ultimate swap, the Heenes swap lives with a psychic mom who speaks to the dead and can control the weather, her husband and her children — who believe they are destined to be stars.”

    After watching that horrible video, I could totally see the older kids tricking the 6 year old into getting into it...then it accidently took off. Of course, the 6 year old could have been playing around with it on his own but that seems like such a huge feat to do by himself.
    These kids seem horrible unsupervised and destined for some jail time...

    from the looks of the basket on that thing tho it didnt seem like there was even a 'door' on it,, it prolly only had like sensors etc in there.

    I assume the rescue workers would have at least opened it up if there was a door on it. They seemed to not even consider doing that

    He wont get in any trouble, the parents don't believe in discipline.
    Besides, it had to be a hoax/prank. Can we say: publicity stunt to try to land a reality show?

    It's only the people who watch MTV and VH1 all the time that would do something like that~~ they have nothing better too do with their life. LOL
    I hope the child is okay though

    In some cases it is NOT the parents fault. Kids also learn from other bad kids at school, and other bad parents per say.

    This is where Falcon screws it up for the family and says..."It was for the show" after they asked him why he didn't come out.

    Ummm, they mght want to coach him better. And if not, then the dad needs a better and faster response as to why his child said that. This is their 3rd child. They should be fully aware that a 6 year old lacks filters.

    Looks like they've got 'em. We heard that they have now admitted to this stunt getting them their own reality show. They will be responsible for all costs. What a moron. Glad he got himself the attention he so desperately wanted, and the bill to go along with it. Tools.....

    I just heard that Mr. Heene's hoax was a get rich quick scheme so that he could use his money to build an underground bunker to save the family from the sun exploding in the year 2012. Oh. Emm. Gee.
