mr. balloon

while looking up kerry's nomination acceptance speech i came across a funny article about a blooper from the event. apparently a large number of balloons failed to release after the event, sending the director of the convention center into a panic heard on-air:

'no confetti. no confetti yet. go balloons. go balloons. more balloons. all balloons. all balloons. come on guys, let's move it," began a relatively calm mr mischer.

soon afterward however the dnc director begam to panic.

"jesus, we need more balloons. i want all balloons to go, goddamn. no confetti. no confetti. no confetti. i want more balloons. what's happening to the balloons? we need more balloons. we need all of them coming down... balloons.

"go balloons, balloons... what's happening balloons, there's not enough coming down. all balloons - where the hell - there's nothing falling," mr mischer said, before finally exploding: "what the f... are you guys doing up there?"
