I'll keep my eye out for that Pikachu float this year when I watch the Thanksgiving parade on TV.

Thomas? Paddington? The transatlantic cultural diplomacy is noted.

I like that Pikachu is one of the two most prominent balloons in the poster. Whether that's because of what TCPI paid Macy's or what, I dunno, but it's neat that it's the first thing you see when you look at the poster. Pokemon needs to get more coverage over here.

This poster says Pokemon (or Pikachu, at least) is, or at least should be, as much of a household name as Thomas the Tank Engine and that's HUGE.

Oh, I mistook the Pillsbury Doughboy for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man for a moment.
