BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT! HELP AD COUNCIL COMPLETELY REMOVE SMOKEY BEAR ATV AD FROM AIRWAVES Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, As many of you know, in 2008 the Ad Council was promoting its infamous Smokey Bear ATV Ad Campaign that basically told OHV riders that in order to prevent wildfires they should just pack-up and go home...even if they had spark arrester mufflers and were riding in legal OHV areas. In the summer of 2008, BRC, AMA and other OHV groups requested that the ad be pulled. Thanks to those requests, the Ad Council pulled the Smokey Bear ATV ad. However, it appears that some TV or radio departments did not get the message. In the last few weeks, BRC has been getting a number of complaints from our members about the ad still being shown on several media outlets. Based on those concerns, BRC sent a letter on April 13, 2009, requesting the Ad Council review this issue. On Friday, April 24, they responded with a letter and a request for your help in tracking the unapproved airing of these ads. *********************************************************** *********************************************************** *********************************************************** CONTACT: Thanks for your help in getting this inappropriate ad completely removed from the airwaves.
