I'm not voting but I reckon it was a hoax.

Can you just imagine the father's face when the kid was being interviewed and said 'it was for the show' (or words to that effect). I bet it was a priceless and 'wait until I get you home' look.

There are some things in life that I don't have an opinion on - this is one such! Even if I think about it, I can't reach a decision. Maybe, maybe not,

If it was then its dispicable. What a waste of resources.
