The news just keeps getting worse for the Heene family, better known now to the world as the family behind the "balloon boy" scandal.

On the heels of news that the Heene parents will face charges for what has now been deemed a "hoax" -- the Larimer County, Colo., sheriff's department says the Heenes "manipulated authorities and media into believing their son had flown away in a balloon (he was later found hiding in the attic) -- comes this video, shot just after the Heenes appeared on Wife Swap.

In the video the Heene boys rap about the "pussification" of men and frequently use the word "f****t." At about the 2 minute and 50 second mark, one of the boys talks about throwing a rock at a "f****t" in a tree.
