Macy's window displays

I lived in NYC for a while, the city where all dreams can come true. Especially, at Christmas time they like to keep that idea alive. Macy's holiday window display was always a feat and they tried to outdo themselves every year. So imagine my shock when I walk down Hennepin, and I see this in the Macy's window in Minneapolis. A scene that to me looks more like communist hell than Christmas. Notice the mannequin with the cabbie hat that looks like a russian worker out of some propaganda poster. I am not asking for quaint snow scenes with reindeer and Santa because after all the space does require some sort of fashion display, but this is a pretty big miss in my opinion. At least it makes for some fun shots. Window display designer, I am addressing you: oops!

Or is this really just me?
