    Default San Diego Big Bay Boom Fireworks. Epic win or epic fail?



    Apparently, 15 minutes worth of fireworks went off all at once at the fireworks show at San Diego, and it resulted in a show that lasted 15 seconds. Now, what do you think? Is this an epic win, or epic fail?

    If you watch some videos, apparently it looks like the crowds enjoyed the show, but news and the media are calling it a bust. What do you think?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I would be hella pissed if I packed myself into that little bay with thousands of other people and got to see ten seconds worth of fireworks.

    Better than Missourah.

    Clearly not when it comes to fireworks, though.

    This is one of those "You have to be there to witness it" kind of awesomeness. If you weren't there, it would seem kind of lame, and when you're there to actually witness it happen, you'll be all "Whoa, what the hell did I just see? That was pretty intense!" I'm pretty torn but I think it looks like a win, because loud explosions in the sky are cool.

    I would have found it amusing, but I would have felt like I wasted my time after I stopped laughing.

    : "OH WHOA WHAT THE HELL..."
    15 seconds later
    : "Was that it?"

    It might have been good for those 15 seconds, but the rest of your life will be spent regretting all the time you wasted standing around waiting for it.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Compared to the show I saw, yeah this definitely fails. Way to fireworks, Cali.

    If they had been just a little better, it would have been an epic win. Like the fireworks show from Coneheads. That was only about 10-15 seconds, too. But it was damn awesome.

    Now I wish I had gone to that firework show instead of the one I saw. That probably would have looked even better with my 3D glasses.

    Oh no, one of the six thousand fireworks shows that happens in and around San Diego was lackluster.

    WHATEVER WILL THOSE POOR PEOPLE DO NOW.

    Maybe turn to the left 3 degrees and see another show?

    The horror.

    Better to stand around looking up for 15 minutes than for 15 awesome seconds.

    Oh wait, no it's not. That rocked.

    The comedy factor alone makes it worth it.
