2008 Mummers Parade – A Family Event?

I saw this in Mail Call today:

“I was calling to just let everybody know that I thought the Mummers Parade was one of the best that I’ve seen in probably the last 10 years.”

— Hagerstown

No Offense to anyone who really liked this parade this year, but the crowd that turned out for it was not something I would let my kids come out to. Constant swearing and vulgar comments. Hearing grown men and fathers talk about how they would have loved to knock someone out on their front porch while their kids are around?

Sorry Hagerstown, but you still have a lot of cleaning up to do before I consider these events worthwhile going to.
