(Newser) – It was inevitable: a Canadian model airplane company is selling “Balloon Boy” Halloween costumes on its website. For $19.99, you get a 38-inch mylar balloon with a small gondola. Supply your own helium, cardboard box, and string, notes ABC Denver. "Now you, too, can enjoy all the media attention you want," the Plantraco Microflight website promises.

I estimate it to be worth 1 dollar, but its priceless to see just how dumb you look in it.
