Hi Ho! Balloon Orgy on West 81st Street

thanksgiving day parade balloons being inflated on central park west

Does Miss Piggy know this is what happens when Kermit comes to NY? Gothamist finds it crazy that the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade people would let the many children passing by see Cloe the Clown Doll (a girl, according to Macy's information) in such a position with Kermit. Of course, we're ridiculously immature and couldn't stop laughing and pointing it out. [More pictures at Bluejake.com]

You have the fine students of the Stevens Institute of Technology to thank for that particular "feature" to the parade. Me and several other stevens students are on the inflation crew every year. yes, the balloons were supposed to be in that order, but no, they weren't supposed to be in that position ^_^

well we all know what happens when a frog gets kissed, but what happens when a frog takes it doggy style?

My camera's battery died when I was taking shots of Jimmy Neutron, which is always annoying anyway, but I sure was hopping mad when I got to the next balloon to see Kermit getting a good ass-pounding and me unable to take a picture. I'm glad someone did!
