“No confetti yet. Go balloons. More balloons…”

The Democratic Convention ended with a rather amusing Rainman-ish rant, after convention centre director Don Mischer was heard in a voice over on television channel CNN cursing the fact that not enough balloons and confetti were released following John Kerry’s official acceptance of the Democrat’s nomination.

‘No confetti. No confetti yet. Go balloons. Go balloons. More balloons. All balloons. All balloons. Come on guys, let’s move it. 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! What the f… are you guys doing up there?”

Perhaps Don was just being metaphorical? After all, who hasn’t been waiting on their “balloons and confetti” from the powers that be from time to time? People across the world pray that the balloon of love will fall into their grateful hands, and not get stuck in the rafters of relationship problems. And haven’t we all asked God from time to time “Where’s my confetti, big fella?”

Don’t worry, Don - ausculture.com know what you were really trying to say…
