The beautiful moment is 6:00 in.

You can also find it on youtube, but to see in on MSNBC\'s site in all its glory is fucking classic.

Saw that yesterday. Then the reporters were al aghast when they found it empty. :laughing:

Surprise ending to it later on. Bamboozled the entire world (this was picked up by international news too)!

Falcon admits on TV it was for show. Dad starts rambling on...not knowing what to say.

Haha...he should\'ve bought him that candy at the supermarket,...then he would\'ve lied for them...:D...the father probably wanted to whoop that ass right there!!..:laughing:

I\'ve heard tho that this family has been on tv reality shows too...i think they were on wife swap or so i\'ve heard, so this thing might not actually be out of the realm of this bein\' a publicity stunt, i\'ve heard that the rescue personnel involved is estimated to be over 2 million tho,..so if it ever comes to pass that this was indeed a hoax, they are going to be hit hard with fines out tha wazoo!!
