The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a wonder. It's kitsch, populist, perfectly choreographed and open to all. 'All' includes a million or so New Yorkers, 50 million TV viewers and and floats and inflatables as diverse as Ronald McDonald, Dolly Parton (!) and a Jeff Koons silver bunny alongside the pink Energizer bunny. This is to say nothing of 'pa's' from the casts of Legally Blonde, Xanadu, Mary Poppins and Young Frankenstein.
This begs an interesting question. Given that Koons this month became the world's most expensive living artist (at $25 million) did Macy's have the foresight to acquire an ownership interest in the bunny?
