Balloon Boy's dad invents back scratcher, pitches it on YouTube
DENVER - Richard Heene, the father behind the infamous Balloon Boy incident, has invented a back scratcher that "a bear would use."

"If you itch like a son of a twitch, then you need my latest invention," says Heene in his YouTube infomercial pitch, complete with demonstrations.

Heene's "Bear Scratch" utilizes an upright piece of wood, similar to what a bear would use to scratch its back in the woods.

According to his Youtube post the "secret" behind the back scratcher is the natural textured tree and small knots in the design.

The scratching post is available at www.BearScratch.com for $19.99.
