INTERACTIVE SATIRE
Poke the balloon. Question the spectacle.
A small interactive experiment in attention, outrage, and hot air.
That escalated quickly.
Move your pointer to steer the balloon. Click to bop it, drag to toss it, shake it while dragging for coins, or press and hold for about one second to pop it. With a keyboard, press Enter or Space to bop; hold Enter or Space to pop, or use the Pop it button. Escape cancels a keyboard pop.
