Smokey the Bear will NOT tolerate your shit. You can tell he’s badass because his Twitter bio states:
“Greetings friends, I am Smokey Bear, the national fire prevention icon. Get your SMOKEY ON!”
(Get Your Smokey On being the Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires for the Millennial generation.)
As @Smokey_Bear on Twitter, Smokey prevents fires and generally represents bear-kind with dignity and compassion. This week he employed his excellent Twitter listening skills to note that Chef Micah Fields of The Standard in LA planned to serve burgers made with black bear meat.
The article warns that PETA might catch wind the burger is named “after the cute, yet cautious Smokey the Bear”. Nasty!
With the countdown to bear burger week approaching, Smokey sprung into action. No need to wait for PETA to step up.
And … Sorted.
Would you mess with Smokey? He has a shovel and knows what to do with it.
Does your national Twitter icon look out for your cause too, or is it too busy tweeting and re-tweeting about Pepsi Refresh fifteen times a day?
Uh, I made this blog on a PC. So it’s a bit crap. Like real people.
