Happy Labor Day, canaries everywhere!

Macys ad for labor day with canaries

I cut this out of the LA Times Magazine in 2006, as you can see. I was going to call Macy's Department Store to compliment them on their guts and creativity, but instead I'll write it here. I could not believe the ad agency was cool enough to be so uncool!!! Yay, Macy's! Canaries are such ...
