Seriously though; maybe my heart is becoming ever more black and shriveled as I grow older, but I find less and less joy in the parade with each passing year. I come for the Rockettes, some neat floats and giant balloons of cartoon characters I watched 15 years ago, not the latest flavor-of-the-month tween pop star. Worse still is that the broadcasters focus on said floats and balloons for about 5 seconds each, yet will devote minutes to the performers.

Humbug.
