. . . due to one of the final segments, depicting a contentious "balloon." Though this device was invented in 1564, the rubber version did not pop up until 1855. Legally denoted as a "sheath-shaped barrier contraption," these gizmos can be used to create a physical barrier to prevent tars from sailing into port. PINK OUTS presents a cruel but widely practiced "joke" in which an adult and a child stumble across a discarded "balloon" on the street, and the grown-up either suggests that it is an inflatable toy, or "plays along" with a young innocent's assumption to that effect. Obviously, if the film crew trying to perpetrate, popularize and perpetuate this sort of demented "humor" against the Youth of America were still alive, they would be drawn quartered immediately.
