Haven’t watched it in awhile, but it seemed underwhelming.
Is it cuz of the weather or just the stream I was watching? I’m let down…and drunk.

I had to tell my 4 year old that this year Santa will not be at the parade because Madam Harris lost and he did the Ruthkanda Forever pose and I'm so happy and proud of him. ruthkanda-forever

Of course it sucks it's a parade. It's loud, slow, garishly colored traffic.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

but even more so

You cannot tell me people actually watch a stream of a parade of balloons

Americans are made up

parades are all inherently trash

Death to America

Except spooky ghost processions of folklore.

I like the ones that are so cool you aren't allowed to look at them or else the ghosts will take you with them.

No giant Barney to pop and die this year, disappointed

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

The whole thing is just advertisements. Of course it sucks

[–] DBVegas@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Mostly sucked by we got two songs from Kylie Minogue, always a pleasant surprise.

Its actually the first time I'm hearing there is a McDonald's parade. How did i miss such America lore?

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You hear about Black Friday? That comes the day after the parade where people literally get killed over Christmas presents. Totally normal country.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

I heard about black friday saw many a clip of stores opening the flood gates maybe by comparison i just kinda forgot there was a McDonald's parade by contrast of store employees getting trampled to death over a cheap TV

I've never watched it before but as long as I don't watch this one it won't be any worse :)
