All the capitalist advertising in Times Square is even hollower than usual this year. Hardly anyone out to celebrate (as it should be in a dense ass city like NYC) and you have to watch a fucking KIA ad just to see the ball drop. It's hauntingly quiet, really a shadow of it's former self. Half way through the lyrics of an old song pop through and it starts with "start spreading......the news" like wow holy shit lmao. More like spreading the plague. The fireworks are so tiny compared to the billboards. They tried to fill some of the standing area with wacky waving inflatable tube folks but it's pathetic. They put people in socially distanced pig pens too, because I guess tape on the floor wasn't enough.
:floppy-parrot: Anyways, here's just one NYE celebration from China. :floppy-parrot:
It's like Eurovision & the Winter Olympics opening ceremony combined with bar graphs and stats. Love it and yes I am a huge dork, why do you ask? Can't go wrong with inflatable mascots either and the art projected onto the ski slope was cool too.
