At the Media room of the East St Louis Tire Fire's practice facility, Tom Waits park, anxious reporters from all the major ESL media outlets have gathered in anticipation of this year's Tire Fires Christmas press conference. An empty podium cluttered with microphones stands next to a projector screen.
Frank Stallone enters the room, joined by his entourage (lovingly referred to as "the awesome bunch" by the local media) Joe Piscopo, Roger Clinton, and Steven Segal.
Frank: Thank you for all coming today. Let me assure you, all weapons that were confiscated on the way in will be returned when you leave.
Now, as you all know, the Tire Fires have always been about the community. Be it our hugely popular early development program, how to clean a .22, or proceeds from my hugely popular cologne line "essence of frank" benefitting local methadone clinics, we here at Tom Waits Park know that without our great citizens of this fair city, we'd be nothing.
But a terrible, terrible circumstance has been brought to my attention recently, something we cannot, will not let go unnoticed.
Hundreds of children in Bandar Lampung need our help, ladies and gentlemen. We all know how important those formative years are. Now imagine those years being spent without anyone to look up to, to respect. These children's delicate self-esteem rides in the balance. With no one respectable to look up to, these poor crushed souls are turning to such unsavory activities such as joining the debate team, crocheting, LARP-ing and cosmetology.
Sure, we all laugh when Bandar Lampung makes a fool of themselves year in and year out on the football field. But think of the children folks... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!
That is why i announce, with great pride, the East St Louis Tire Fires 1st annual Bandar Lampung Big Brother Outreach!
Each member of the Tire Fires will be flying in one of these children to show them that life isnt about failure, day in and day out, and if they can look past their poor genetic gifts, lack of a masculine father figure, and various other shortcommings, even they can be winners like Frank Stallone.
We're excited, I wont lie. This is our most ambitious outreach to date. And we've got a full schedule of activities to slowly help build their self-confidence back up.
Steven, could you dim the lights? Thanks.

Steven, could you get the lights again? thanks.
So, there's no question this is our most ambitious undertaking yet, but we feel with guidance, these poor embarrassed souls can be molded into the gas station attendants, fast food cooks, and of course media reporters...

... of tomorrow. thanks for coming out this year, and god bless.
