[Geysers] Television ads

[Freund, Udo]

Yosemite's bears might be capable of ripping open that "lockable"
storage compartment shown in this ad.  They're notorious for ripping
open car doors and rooftop storage lockers to get to food.  Bears have
broken in because of the smell of spilled food on a child's car seat or
just an empty gum wrapper left in the ashtray!  See attachments.
Fortunately, Yellowstone's bears haven't learned this behavior -- yet.

Let the bears take care of the Darwin Award candidates.   The lawyers
can then litigate over resultant liability issues.  Both make for
interesting reading.

One simple solution is to boycott the products whose advertising is
disagreeable to you.  I doubt any of us on this list use Metamucil.

There is a Honda ad being aired now. A grizzly bear is standing in the
middle of the road blocking traffic. Guys in their pickup scratch their
heads wondering how to get past the snarling bear. Driver gets out of
the cab, goes around to a cooler in the cargo bay, takes out a fish,
makes sure he has the bear's attention, throws the fish past the bear to
the side of the road. Drooling bear runs after the fish like a dog
playing fetch. Driver gets back in car and continues down the road.
