Position Vacant: Fireworks Program Director
Happy New Year all,
Yesterday whilst i was driving home from work I heard on the radio that Sydneys creative director of the New Years Eve fireworks program has resigned and the search is on for a new one. Excuse me for being a bit confused about this, but what sort of qualifications do you need to be a creative director of a firewroks program? I mean I have seen plenty of fireworks shows and quite frankly the only noticeable difference in any of them has been how long they go for.
As an example the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games went on for a few quite a while. My local Guy Fawkes show didn't go on for anywhere near as long. Less budget I suspect. So exactly how do you apply for the job? How do you differentiate yourself from the other candidates? Do you go in and explain your creative vision as being "right I am going to have next years fireworks show go for 1 whole hour!". Probably not.
I can imagine some government grant subsidised neo-drain on society dickhead explaining to the selection committee how they are going to really send a message of peace, love and global warming awareness with their fireworks show by launching a green exploding thingy after the red and orange exploding thingy's, perhaps followed by a few of those loud rocket type thingys.
All this will symbolize how bad George Bush is, and how urgently we need to save the environment by drinking rats milk. The committee will probably then scratch its chin and nod in acknowledgement of this profoundly moving fireworks vision. Of course the public will never by any wiser to the theme of the fireworks show because, lets face it, they all look the bloody same.
Creative Director of the Fireworks Program. You couldn't get paid to do that job and keep a straight face.
