Is this a little weird or is it just me?

How does the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC not give small children nightmares?? It looks like the balloons are descending upon the crowds, preparing to devour them whole!
Looook at the expression on Sponge Bob...eyes bugging out of his head at the mere thought of the tasty snacks he is about to ingest.

And the people in this picture! They look like they are fleeing for their lives



There was a Shrek balloon too that was equally frightening. I mean, I get the "wow look at that huge cartoon character balloon! Isn't it cool how we waste all this money on something so superfluous?! Mine's bigger than yours, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah". But to have them belly down like that, and so close to the spectators...it just looks so wrong.

You're right it does look a bit scarey. I never realized those giant balloons flew so low.
