And the Award for Best Halloween Costume Goes to…

Balloon Boy CostumeAfter that entire Balloon Boy incident — which turned out to be a big hoax thanks to that loser Richard Heene — one Canadian company is capitalizing on the opportunity to market the most appropriate Halloween costume this year.

Saskatoon-based MicroFlight.com is selling a Balloon Boy outfit, which includes a silver helium balloon, a box and a name tag for about $20.

We called them on Wednesday and they say orders have been pouring in from all over North America for the creative costume. Halloween is on Saturday, but they say if you’re willing to pay extra for shipping, they can overnight the costume to any Winnipeggers that are interested.

Best. Costume. Ever.
