Trivia

The page needs a trivia section, it has been spoofed countless times in the media, whether it be praise or taunting. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.27.217 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 4 August 2007

One example would be a New York subway poster from the mid 1970's, which had the caption "Thank you for making America great!" It had pictures of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln - and Smokey the Bear! (I think I remember them as being pictured as heads on Mt. Rushmore, but I'm not certain.)

Soldiers or fire fighters?

I says under Capitan Gap fire that Smokey was rescued by firefighters. Perhaps someone who knows for sure could make sure each says the same thing?

There is more detailed information here: http://www.smokeybearmotel.com/capitan_history.php Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 02:38, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Smokey Bear as a character was created in 1944, six years before an actual bear cub named "Smokey" was rescued. It is perfectly possible for people to be both soldiers and firefighters, and there is no contradiction. Simply order well-trained soldiers to fight a fire, and . . . voila!

By the way, I hate to tell you this, but that motel website is not a reliable source. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:42, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
