Oh the firework irony of disappointed America Cup devotees

Nothing managed to highlight the irony of America Cup devotees the this bullshit story about them being disappointed by a firework display…

Public backlash after America’s Cup-Viaduct Harbour fireworks fizzer

Disappointed people have vented their frustration after the fireworks display they were expecting on Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour turned out to be more of a flame show with giant sparklers.

An Auckland Council events page promised a “public fireworks display” to celebrate Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup win, and Viaduct Harbour Holdings’ chief executive Angela Bull said there would be a “fireworks and lighting display”.

But those who expected skyrockets were disappointed. The show was mostly flames – the sort seen at Eden Park during a rugby match – and ended in an explosion of ticker tape.

…oh the poor darlings, they didn’t get enough fireworks to celebrate their billionaire ego pissing competition, how will these poor fucks survive huh?

What was hilarious about this news story was that an advert for The Salvation Army ran directly under it, look at this…

…poor Daisy was left cold and disappointed, I’m pretty sure the homeless who need Salvation Army help feel pretty poor and helpless as well.

I’m glad Phil Goff has come out and slapped these arseholes down…

Goff says private sector should bankroll America’s Cup defence

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff believes the private sector should pay much of the cost for hosting the America’s Cup, saying the days of council and government picking up the tab are over.

… The rest of us who are thinking NZers have been patient enough with these America Cup fuckwits, you’ve had your little wealth wank, we don’t want to hear about it for another 4 fucking years.
