The Balloon Boy saga came to an end yesterday in a Fort Collins Colorado courtroom as Richard and Mayumi Heene were sentenced to 90 and 20-days in jail respectively.

"I do want to reiterate that I'm very, very sorry. And I want to apologize to all the rescue workers out there, and the people that got involved in the community. That's it," said Richard Heene, whose wife did not speak at the hearing.

P. Solomon Banda of the Associated Press writes; "The Heenes' probation will be revoked if they are found to be profiting from any book, TV, movie or other deals related to the stunt.".

"This, in simple terms, was an elaborate hoax that was devised by Mr. and Mrs. Heene," the judge said.

So what are your thoughts on the B-Boy saga? Should the parents of little Falcon Heene be allowed to profit from this hoax? Did they get enough jail time? And what would you say to the Heene's if you had the chance?
