Hey Bear, Put Out Your Own Fires

What is it about Smokey the Bear that I find so obnoxious? He has a very snotty, disdainful attitude towards life. He views humans as people who want to set the forest on fire, as if we all are genetically wired to hate life. (Only a select few are.) He will go up to campers and growl and growl because their campfires are on, like, we're just going to the truck to get more marshmallow's, SMOKEY. Back off. And if he's always there to tell people to put out their fire, why can't he just, oh, I don't know, put the fires out himself? Is he that lazy and hateful that all he can do is stand there and cross his arms? Only you can prevent forest fires, but only Smokey can make saving the forest like a tedious, hateful chore.
