Way to get defensive. You asked the question, and I answered it. I was simply surprised that you missed something that was explained in the video.

shut up. I'm not rewaching this. did you take your medicine today?

@Jorbz150: Agreed, but it doesn't excuse it. As I said, the kid had to lie and pretend to be somebody else. They could have easily just asked if the twin was allowed to take the shot in his brother's place. had they done that, they would be spending the 50 grand as we speak.

I don't think they actually expected the kid to make the shot.

Respond to this video... an "honest" person never would've sent his kid down there to IMPERSONATE somebody. The kid had to lie, too. Imagine if they had gone forward with this: they do talk shows, probably a pic in the paper and the kid is a hero at school. sadly, the one who actually made the shot has to watch his bro get all the accolades. And how would that brother feel, getting all these props for something he didn't do?

this would have gotten out. not heros, just realists.

@ScorpioPhoenix1972: no congratulations are in order here! The parents are frauds. They only came forward becuz they realized this would probably get out (11 yr olds cannot keep secrets) and wanted to get in front of this before it got ugly. Too many bad consequences to take a chance.

Besides, if they were really remorseful about what they did, they would have never even considered keeping the money.

Im not blood crazy but like you pointed out we don't live in a idealistic world but the real world where honesty means nothing. You're better off being deceitfull then honest.
