They should really change the name to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade of Unending Advertising. Every year this event becomes more vulgar, more commercial, and more low brow. At the same time it becomes far less creative, depending on endless groups of pretty girls doing tiresome dance routines and marching bands doing the same tedious numbers. And those are only the tepid entertainments slipped in between promotions for TV shows, movies, products of all kinds, the latest rap albums and the newest pablum from Disney. There were always the fun balloons, but now there is too much dialog and sickening hype to further sell each inflatable's product. I'm surprised there isn't a Humira float. Many great American traditions have died during recent years. Sadly, this parade is one of them.
