You knew this was coming.

Plantraco Microflight, a Canadian company that makes remote control airplanes and blimps, has put together a "Balloon Boy" Halloween costume kit.

For "just" $19.99, what you really get is a miniature version of the infamous balloon. If you use the cardboard box it comes in as an additional prop, you can pretend to be six-year-old Falcon Heene hiding from the world.

"It's a trendy, just-in-time Halloween costume that pokes fun at the state of investigative journalism," Plantraco's Bud Kays tells The Coloradoan.

Or, it could just be a way to make a quick buck.

As for actual news today about the "balloon boy" saga, The Coloradoan also offers an interesting look at the issue of whether it was right for the local sheriff to lie to the world when he initially said he believed the Heene family's story about little Falcon being trapped aboard their homemade weather balloon as it flew above Colorado last Thursday.

Charges have yet to be filed against either of the parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene. They have denied the sheriff's allegation that the whole thing was a hoax.
