Why the hell does every site purporting to stream the parade actually have nothing to do with it?
I've checked no fewer than 50 pages, and none of them--especially not the ones that claim to stream it--in fact have anything even relating to the parade, other than a link to some overloaded and irrelevant alternet blog.

WTF?!?

1. Capitalism and the internet operate on the basis of, among other things, the shiny object principle.
People are like fish, and parade coverage is the shiny object being dangled to lure them.

The authors of the misleading links hope to hook you and reel you in with their deception.
