Every lunar new year the Better Chinatown Society hosts its annual firecracker ceremony in Chatham Square. Professionals supervise 15 minutes of explosions - the only legal fireworks allowed in Chinatown. Every other bang you hear comes from a pressurized tube of Confetti. Watch the following movie to see how these tubes match up against firecrackers when it comes to celebrating the traditions of Lunar New Year.

Confetti Tube is no match of the traditional firecracker. It only has ONE pop.
Before the tyrannical racist ex-mayor Giuliani insulted all Asian-Americans by banning the use of firecrackers by the public for the New Year celebration, the celebration was 1000% better than it is now.
Those confetti tubes are an expensive joke, and are more dangerous than the small firecrackers they replaced. If one of those tubes went off in your face you would definitely get hurt!
Oh, that’s a new one.
good job.
