    I heard it on the radio here in Colorado. They're having a press conference now.

    I can't even imagine what it was like for the parents.

    I certainly hope this wasn't some sort of publicity stunt...

    ha, I was about to suggest it was. The whole story just doesn't add up, plus they have already shown a desire to be in the limelight by appearing in a reality TV show twice.

    Publicity stunt. They are fame hungry.

    Is that speculation, or is it being reported as fact?

    This thread pretty much sums up the 24 news cycle.

    Well at least now they don't have to search outside the family for a future beastie boys member.

    I give it at least 3 weeks before it becomes a south park episode.

    Weird-ass family.

    As a non-parent, I'm so relieved.

    I do actually think this was more of a publicity stunt. Apparently they contacted TLC (I think it was TLC) to get their own show and were turned down. This guy was on wife swap (more than once I think) and on Storm Chasers.

    Of course the kid did say "We did it for a show" (as was stated in this thread already)...

    But also...

    I don't really care. I'm just glad the boy is safe.
