Sharpton Thanksgiving Day Float New York (UPI) Macy's has announced that joining the Snoopy and Garfield balloons floating high above spectators during their annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be the real life Al Sharpton kept aloft with his own hot air.
A ground crew of fifty sumo wrestlers will man guy wires keeping the controversial activist and bandwagon jumper from drifting away into the stratosphere.
A Macy's spokesperson said Sharpton will be the largest float ever in the history of the parade easily breaking the record set in 1996 with the Free Willy balloon.
