I think this is pretty funny stuff.  This ad ran in the Miami Herald this morning....

This article (http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2011/06/miami_herald_runs_macys_ad_con.php) suggests Mark Cuban may have taken out the ad. Not sure how credible that is but considering that a Heat victory last night would have only produced a Game 7 and not a title one has to wonder if it actually is a prank of some sort.

Funnies line of the article: "Thanks, Miami Herald. You are the fourth-quarter LeBron James of local sports coverage..."

I don't see Cuban doing that.  Putting up a fake ad with Macy's name attached would seem to be a good way to get sued.  Not that he can't afford it, but it just doesn't seem like something he would do.

Dude is definitely weird.. If it's a bot, it's a pretty good one..  If it's a person, it's a pretty bad one.. LOL

There were corrections posted in the article. The Herald admitted it was just a production error.

( p.s. - I never thought I'd cheer for the Mavericks. )
