God forbid you make people worry. They might slow down their unstoppable consumption. Think what would happen to the wealthy!
It's kind of a weird article. I think it's OK for the parade broadcasters to not get too elaborate in their comments regarding the floats. No one is tuning in for that, and I think the most receptive viewers to such a message probably aren't watching anyway.
I've never watched the parade because even as a child, it was boring and felt like a commercial. The only people watching at this point are probably doing so out of tradition, and I think that's fine. There are far more harmful traditions to mess with than blown up cartoon characters strolling through town once a year.
Wonder why they didn't mention that Smokey is getting replaced by Ember the fox?
Edit: oh looks like Ember is just in Canada
We’ll need a different holiday for the UK to do a parallel commercial with Smacky the Frog
