Better whatch out for Kevin the Kidney. Also, I agree that the parade is a bit…commercialy. Sorry. Made up word.

@pmvgalaxy: Add another “L” and it’s NOT made up. But I do agree with your sentiment. But it is still enjoyable to watch.

While I agree that most of the balloons are of licensed products, that is mostly what kids are interested in. I believe there is a turkey isn’t there? There are also performances from singers and musicals.And it is enjoyable to watch. I’ve shown it to friends from other countries and they still talk about how much they liked it.

Even “Jeopardy” has succumbed to product placement in their questions these days! SIGH. (Also, could the rest of the world please get off my lawn?)

A recent direct to consumer drug ad I saw last week featured an anthropomorphic colon. Really, really screwed up!
