Colo. sheriff calls balloon saga a hoax
He says ordeal was staged to generate publicity for a reality TV show

 



FORT COLLINS. Colo. - A sheriff said he was pursuing criminal charges in Colorado's "balloon boy " saga, which he described Sunday as a hoax to generate publicity for a reality TV show.


"It has been determined that this is a hoax, that it was a publicity stunt and we believe we have evidence at this point to indicate that this was a publicity stunt in hopes to better market themselves for a reality show," Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden told reporters at a press conference.

Are writing skills a requirement here? Did someone change the rules on me? I'm just a short and to the point type of gal.

Seems like reading skills should be more important.

Have a wonderful day.

Then why didn't you clarify that in your post? Honestly, your writing skills are horrible. Truly horrible.


Hmmm... but you're the only one that misunderstood it.

I had no difficulty comprehending her post.

When in doubt, perhaps consider a poster's words in the context of what they've previously said on the thread.
