Rick Astley personally rick-rolled the Macy's parade this year. How freakin' sweet is that?

The most epic rickrolling in the history of mankind.

Man, the internet is lame. Some really cool photos of old time Macy's parade, and all the wankers here can talk about is Rick Astley.
Cool find, vronsky. It's interesting seeing the history of the floating figures in the parade. Thanks!

I preferred to talk about Rick Astley because I was trying to get the creepy photos out of my head. I appreciate the historical insight, but Jesus those floats creep me out.

I missed the actual parade, but watched a decent 'History Of...' on the Hitler and UFO channel.
I appreciate the parade rickroll. I really do.

That rickroll was hilarious. (Yeah, what, nothing is cool once people know about it? Suck it, haters.)

I love the internet. TV for once did something purely fun and totally unexpected amidst its commercial-as-entertainment, but on the internet that's every day.

Even more interesting to me than the evolving styles and the evolving fidelity (and colour hue preference) of photographic equipment was the evolving architectural style over the years.
Interesting history - I wonder who initially came up with the idea and/or carried it out?

Can somebody tell me if they still fly the Underdog balloon? I haven't seen the parade in years.
