Missed that Mythbusters segment, but I was near Los Angeles when one man launched himself high over the city with only 45 helium balloons:

The MBs were testing the myth as seen in a Mr. Bean movie where a kid was taken hundreds of feet up into the air by about six or eight helium filled balloons. It literally took them thousands of ballons to lift one forty pound (if that) small girl a few feet off the ground.

When does Richard Heene become the Obama Science Czar? Also what is his DUmmie screen name? He must be a DUmmie to believe that he could pull off this hoax without getting caught.

You should find a group of singers in the St. Louis area and post this parody song to YouTube.

Well, it looks as though collusion on this stunt goes back months: Sheriff: Balloon boy hoax may have conspirators.

"We certainly know that there's a conspiracy between the husband and wife, you've probably seen some of the e-mails and some of the things on the Internet suggesting that there may be other conspirators," Alderden said.

Alderden said documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regard to the balloon incident. Alderden didn't name the media outlet but said it was a show that blurs "the line between entertainment and news."

These people themselves are DU material...

Wai, wait, wait, you’re telling me that William Rivers Pitt, THE William Rivers Pitt, tricked some unfortunate soul into spending the rest of her life with him? Isn’t that a violation of that person’s civil rights?

ON THE GOOD SHIP JIFFY POP
Tune: "On the Good Ship Lollipop"

You had your wife and boys
Helping on your balloon
Then it comes loose, deploys
That fateful afternoon

Soon it began to fly
You said your son's inside
When it came down, what we found
Was that Daddy lied . . .

On the good ship Jiffy Pop
Just a loose lip made your flight a flop
When Falcon slipped
And departed from the prearranged script

Cable news crews everywhere
More and more clues fill the air
And there you are
Heene standing at a criminal bar

You were on "Wife Swap," but you couldn't stop
You just had to get back on TV
So your kid did--ooh ooh
Just a fluke that he had to puke

Make a new ship Jiffy Pop
Use a foil strip from the prison shop
And sail away
On the good ship Jiffy Pop
