A giant panda balloon that escaped from a Chinese shopping mall was just too cute to be terrifying

No people were hurt, though the panda was eventually trapped and deflated – which is about as relatable as a balloon can get.

It could have been much worse. This moon (not moin) balloon looks absolutely terrifying.
