i'm entirely too amused by this

i volunteered with alpha phi omega, my co-ed service fraternity, at richmond's local holiday parade as a balloon handler this past saturday. towards the end of the parade, i'd heard that folks handling a rudolph balloon had had some trouble. [please note that alpha phi omega was NOT handling this balloon! :b ] turns out the folks handing ol' rudloph hit a snag. or, to be more specific, a traffic light. it poked a hole in his forehead and deflated pretty early on in the parade. it was of course captured on video and uploaded to youtube. aaaand it's gone viral. hit the national news [entertainment tonight, nbc12, inside edition...] and now it's gone global! totally RIDICULOUS! lol
