Holy Crap Boy Trapped in Flying Balloon

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The man who carried out the balloon boy hoax has been sentenced to jail for the stunt.

A judge sentenced Richard Heene to 90 days in jail, including 60 days of work release that will let him pursue work as a construction contractor while doing his time. The judge also imposed conditions on Heene's probation that forbid him from profiting from the balloon spectacle in any way for four years.

Heene choked back tears as he said he was sorry, especially to the rescue workers who chased down false reports that his 6-year-old son had floated away in a balloon. He said: "I do want to reiterate that I'm very, very sorry."

Richard and Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to charges that they carried out the balloon stunt in October to promote a reality TV show. Mayumi Heene's sentencing is under way.
 
They deserve more.....


The story went viral on the web but how many good people wasted their time that day....I would have tried to calculate the amount of wasted man hours and that would be their sentence!

1000 people wasted 5 hours = 5,000 hours in jail= 208.3 days in jail EACH!
