Manic Monday--Only Marty Can Prevent Forest Fires

Nothing against comic book PSAs...
 
...but I'm not sure that a goofy pose by Oscar-winner Ernest Borgnine is going to make me suddenly remember to put out my campfire.

Meanwhile, if you actually read the copy...

You guys do know that Smokey Bear is fictional, right?  "He does it for no other reason than to save our forests"?? Dudes, he does because his writers have him do it...

...Really? You're pulling the "fictional characters aren't real" bit? How the fuck can you go on about the actions of characters in comics in general and turn around and say "SMOKEY AIN'T REAL!" like it's some kind of revelation that we don't already know?

Like "Who cares what Robin's new costume looks like? He ain't real." or "Who cares if the new Star Trek is just gonna rehash old, pre-existing storylines from the previous series? It ain't real!" or "Who cares if Superman kills or not? HE AIN'T REAL!"...see how easy that is?

Man, you're a dick.
