    The 100,000 balloons released from the rafters at the FleetCenter at the end of Senator John F. Kerry's acceptance speech last night apparently did not fall fast enough, prompting the convention producer to profanely complain in remarks that were inadvertently picked up by CNN and heard by millions of viewers.The balloon drop was orchestrated by Maureen Curreri, owner of Boston Balloon Events of South Boston.
