Yes, folks, there are some people who want to be on TV more than the attention-seeking media wh0res that regularly apply to Survivor not because they want to win The Game - or even play it - but because they are attempting to jump start their acting careers.

In this category we put the Heene Family patriarch who not only featured his family on Wife Swap (in which families reveal their inner disfunction for the world to see) but also is an amateur Hillary-Clinton-Is-A-Reptile theorist as well as a junior engineer in the my-neighbors-hate-me-because-I-built-a-UFO-in-my-backyard nutjob and a lets-see-if-I-can-get-my-family-killed-along-with-myself storm chaser.

So, now that we have:

1. a video of them intentionally accidentally launching the craft
2. which had a maximum load-bearing capability of 6 pounds,
3. while at least one of the children videotaped them doing it, with
4. no payload/passenger basket attached to the bottom
5. and their child admitted on live TV it was done 'for the show'
6. and is physically ill whenever he is questioned about it
7. while the father was in the midst of pitching an idea for a 'wacky' family as a reality TV show
8. and the child was allegedly in a box in the attic above the garage with food and toys
9. even though the police found no evidence of food and toys
10. and the kid admitted he heard people looking for him.

I wonder the following:

Why would anyone doubt their story?
