That sound you hear?

That's sphincters tightening over at CNN. The following occured after John Kerry's speech, and was apparently broadcast worldwide, with no one at CNN the wiser (insert joke here).



'Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don't see anything happening. Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it- balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet.

'No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? We need more balloons.

'We need all of them coming down. Go balloons- balloons? What's happening balloons? There's not enough coming down! All balloons, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the fuck are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons'...

EDIT: I have audio of the last few seconds of this, right up to "What the fuck are you guys doing up there?"

Not tonight you won't, as I'm off to bed. Don't worry, I'll try emailing it. It's way small.

This definitely wins the George Takei "Oh my!" award of the week.

Give me an email address and I'll send in the morning. Like I said, it's only a couple lines from it but the poor bastard sounds about ready to snap like a dry twig.
