Is it though? It wasn't until it got pointed out to me that it was an ad that I even noticed the brand name and logo. 5 seconds later, I can't remember either.
If I do recall them from the ad, all I recall is "the embodiment of incompetence" style parking. And that is not exactly likely to get me to spend any money on whatever they are selling.

"A furphy is Australian slang for an erroneous or improbable story that is claimed to be factual. Furphies are supposedly 'heard' from reputable sources, sometimes secondhand or thirdhand, and widely believed until discounted."

...I could have sworn the brand name said "curry" not "furphy".
And I completely blanked on registering the "crisps" part.

So yeah targeted advertising looks real weird when you aren't the target.

I say it is an advertisement because the most reasonable explanation for why it is there is that somebody put it there deliberately and the two main reasons for doing that would be committing art, or advertising, so I looked it up and it was reported in the news as an advert, which means that it is likely a successful advert because it got lots of coverage and also people are recording it on ticked tock, and posting it on the internet for free, owing to it giving the appearance of being an improbable happenstance to the comparatively uncyncial observer.

Friend. That's a small bear. The big ones could eat wolves. Wolves are bigger than people.

It’s also a 17 year old who is the pusher and she rules.

quote:

Morinico said she was protecting her "children." She added that she lives in the mountains, where bear sightings are common.

She said she ran outside after hearing her dogs barking and at first thought the bear was a "funny-looking dog." When she noticed it was a bear, she sprinted toward the animals.

"I go up to the bear, I look it in the eyes and the first thing I think to do is push it," the woman said in the video.

Morinico herself urged people to not follow her lead.

“Do not push bears,” Hailey told KTLA 5.

“Do not push bears” says local woman who pushed bear.

Fight or flight when fighting a bear usually goes the other way.

I guess the mama bear did not feel like she/her cubs were backed into a corner.

On the other hand cats fight off bears too so idk.

Cats are armed. They’re kinda like the wasps of the mammal world.

I got the impression that the family was on an outing; the first dog harshed Mom’s mellow; the second dog kinda gave her pause; then the bald, screaming ape completely discombobulated her.

Without cubs she probably would’ve taken off just to get away from the tiny yipping thing.

Mama Bear might've realized she was intruding on another animal's turf and was working on a fighting retreat anyway.

And wolves are also not bigger than people. Literally nothing in that post was correct aside from them correctly identifying a bear.

Bears, as in the genus ursus, and eat as in a polar bear is large enough they could if they wanted, and you need to see a wolf up close sometime if a picture on the internet isn't doing it for you.

Ok, so polar bears and wolves aren't a thing were you're from. Both have been for me at different points in different places, sorry for not posting about your life black bear knower


E. I'm giving up this argument, I let it get really stupid from the first post going. My bad

Yes.
Bottom line is, the very biggest specimens of wolf can be bigger than some smaller humans, but on average, no, wolves are not bigger than humans.

Wolves top out at 145 lb, and, you know, aren't domesticated and bred to carry snacks on their back.
