Best. 4th of July Parade. Ever.




From Wicked Local:

The long tradition of political satire and bad-taste humor at the Beverly Farms Fourth of July parade went too far this year, at least for three parade judges.

Three angered parade judges quit after several off-color floats poked fun at 17 Gloucester High School girls whose partners impregnated them during the past school year — one of which won an award.

The floats also stirred the ire of Gloucester’s mayor, who said she was “deeply offended” by the floats’ portrayal of teenage pregnancy in her city and has reignited the controversy on a national level, with TV stations picking up the Citizen video of the parade.


Also, skip to the 2:20 mark for their salute to Barack Obama.
