I suggest we all bombard them with more complaint emails. Not one email but several a day from everyone will get their attention. Just write one and then forward it to those email addresses previously listed several times a day.
We got them to pull it off Youtube by complaining, so lets not let up on them! We are the "Public" they claim to serve and they work for US so lets make them listen to us for a change instead of them telling US what to do.

Well it looks like for the moment the PSA giving false impressions that ATVs will start a fire simply by being started has been pulled from circulation. It is now gone from the http://www.smokeybear.com/ website along with being removed from all the others I had found it on.
Maybe we have won one small battle by speaking up.
Ken Thank you for bringing this one to our attention.

Hey everyone~~
Chalk one up for the good guys. The following came across my email via the US Forest Service and the OHV Division of the Utah State Parks and Recreation this morning. Thought you might enjoy it.
It's OFFICIAL the POS PSA is dead!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi all,
The Ad Council will be sending out a notice to media outlets that received our wildfire prevention PSAs (public service advertisements) to discontinue use of the one titled "ATV". below is the notice. The PSA will be removed from any internet site where the Ad Council posted it.
If any of you have received emails or calls from folks about that PSA, please let them know of this action. You can use the responses below or use your own words.
RESPONSE TO MEDIA COMPANIES
It has come to our attention that the recently released PSAs entitled “ATV” for television and radio developed as part of our Wildfire Prevention campaign featuring Smokey Bear have been perceived in a way that is not in line with their original intent.
While the use of motorized recreational equipment does have the potential to cause wildfires, it is not possible to fully explain the various intricacies of ignition in a PSA. Therefore, we request that you immediately discontinue running the TV and radio spots that feature the use of motorized recreational equipment.
On behalf of the U.S. Forest Service, the National Association of State Foresters and the Ad Council we ask that you continue to support the important issue of wildfire prevention by airing the PSAs listed below. Together, we can continue Smokey Bear's 64-year old legacy and provide critical information to Americans about their role in preventing human-caused wildfires.
RESPONSE TO PRESS / OTHERS INQUIRING ABOUT OUR DISCONTINUING THE AD
Thank you for your concern and interest in our recently released wildfire prevention television and radio PSAs. The use of motorized recreational equipment does have the potential to start wildfires. However, many factors come into play and it is not possible to fully explain the intricacies of ignition in a way that would tell the whole story in a PSA. One of our ads has been interpreted in a way that is not in line with the original intent and we have requested that media companies discontinue airing the spots immediately. Our chief goal is to continue to spread Smokey’s enduring message of personal responsibility in the prevention of wildfires, and we hope you will continue your commitment to this issue and help us protect our natural resources from unwanted human caused fire.

It may be a hold over by the station - the official smokey bear and ad council sites are only showing the new "disney" themed ads

PLEASE call the station and tell them to contact the ad council about running the PSA. It was officially pulled. The station must have not been notified.traildad wrote:I was watching TV today and I saw this thing again. I guess it is trying to make a comeback.
