Each of these balloons is said to represent a precious orphan life... I couldn't help but laugh at the tragic irony.

The tree of death

If the symbolism of this video weren't so sad, this would be funny. Call me hyper-sensitive, but to me it sounded like children being shot.

A strong visual

Try watching the video without the sound... because the laughter does make it seem much funnier than what's being represented.

If the viewer knows each balloon represents a child placed in a system built-around safety and protection, look at the number of those rising with success, and the numbers fallen to the ground.

Eery

Actually I found the laughter more eery than the machine gun sounds of the exploding orphan representing balloons.
