Great things come in bears, indeed. This is the most perfect marketing image ever created. Children, whom this movie must be aimed at, will have no idea of the unbelievable triple entendre that it employs. Jaded teens and hipster doofuses and Gen-X irony loving parents will see it and not be able to reconcile that a group of West Hollywood PR men actually greenlit an image so notably disturbing. If you don't think this was done on purpose, I have some really great bridges to sell you in the vicinity of New York State.

I know they're both smiling - but note the subtle differences in their facial expressions. Yogi looks like he's done this before. Boo Boo looks surprised. Over here, at my computer, I look horrified.
ReplyDeleteI lied on facebook, I can't quit this blog.
ReplyDeleteWorking title for the film was Yogi Bareback: 3D. But that didn't pass the focus group.
ReplyDeletehttp://yfrog.com/hq996xej I prefer this one and Ken Plume's comment: "Oh god... It's like Lolita. With pic-a-nic baskets. MY BRAIN IS BURNING. MAKE IT STOP BURNING." Of course, Ken and I go for the high art joke and boys opt for the blue. Makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWait! Add Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, and B-movie angel Anna Faris and look what you get!
