When I was a kid, many, many years ago, the Macy's parade was mystical, a mix of marching bands, balloons and floats. They just went by unedited, and without a lot of talking head comments and celebrity pre recorded and staged performances.

The Macy's parade has long lost it's shine. Now it is an agenda driven infomercial for the gay white way and how cool NYC is compared to the unwashed masses in the rest of the country. It's boring to watch and it hasn't been on my TV for years now.

Yes, and early all of the paraders were full-time Macy employees.
