Smokey understands that today furry twinks are more marketable

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 5 days ago

Even the name, Ember the Fox, sounds straight off a Sonic fan comic

He failed to prevent them and now they're canning his ass.

[–] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 44 points 5 days ago (2 children)

But it wasn’t him who should do it. It was YOU, only you can prevent fires.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Wait, me?! Shit, I'm sorry. I let you guys down.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Only WHO can prevent forest fires?

You've selected "you", meaning me. This is not correct.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

No the WHO prevents diseases

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He's even hanging his head in shame.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Looks more to me like he's cuffed and about to be deported

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 11 points 5 days ago

maybe their usage agreement (smokey bear is not public domain and requires permission or license from the feds to use) is expiring and they don't want to deal with the shitshow in washington dc to renew.

[–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 5 days ago

How dare you stand where he stood!

Now that Smokey isn't preoccupied with forest fire prevention we will see the transformation into his final form.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

Well, Smokey Bear is American and he can't afford to retire in America

[–] prowe45@piefed.social 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hey now, maybe he's not getting fired (lol) because of what a shit job he's been doing, maybe he's voluntarily stepping down from his dangerous job to be a family man. This is pure speculation derived from his arm being around what appears to be a pregnant person.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Can't say I'd be surprised if he did get fired - dude has been pushing off his responsibilities onto everyone else since his first day. "Only I can prevent forest fires", Smokey? Then what are you even doing here?

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Checks out. I guess Ember fox is to fire prevention what RFK Jr. is to American health.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Burn it all down & start anew? Suddenly it all begins to make sense...

Fuck! Am I starting to think like him now?!?!?

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Seriously, it's a Firefox. I'd prefer my mascot with a bit of Chrome on the Edge, out on Safari singing Opera.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

"Health."

Or maybe that's how RFK spells it?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Another W for the furries.

...except for the ones who liked big bara daddy Smokey Bear. Sorry, y'all.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

BC Wildfire? I thought Smokey was a yank
