Classic 1980s fursuit-bear beer commerical

Can't be any worse than the forthcoming 'Yogi Bear' CGI abomination,
right?

(Though actually, this ursine ad campaign ended up getting BANNED on
the grounds that, like 'Joe Camel', the character was too appealing to
children!)

I can imagine it getting banned here in the U.S., but this looks like
an advert for a U.K. audience?

I suppose just about everyone has seen the Yogi Bear (in 3D) trailer:

Ugh! There goes my childhood. :-(

It was here in the UK that it got pulled. I'm afraid our Advertising
Standards Agency can be strict -- for example, no outrageously furry
Orangina ads here, even though they originate from just a few miles
across the Channel. :-(

Really? I thought the prudish and "we must protect the children at all
costs" mentality was an American (U.S.) thing. I say this because I
visited England and western Europe back in late 1979 and was surprised
by the "open-mindedness" of the various cultures.

America used to had a bear pimping for a beer for decades.
