Maybe this was intended as news not humour but it had me laughing. Such dramatic headlines when all the black bear was doing was strolling along, hardly chasing the fat arsed tourists.

But what cracked me up was the fact nearly all the women were obese and couldn't get themselves close to a normal walking pace, let alone actually run when fleeing danger.

Bloody shameful that people can eat themselves to that state of immobility. Reminded me of my time at Disneyland. I was stunned by the number of fat people. Fat parents actually pushing their obese children in oversized prams because the kids were to lazy and fat to walk. These were about 5 to 10 y.o. kids! not babies.

At least normal people now know what to do if they go wandering into the American wilderness, always take along a fatty as bait in case they are charged by a brown or grizzly bear. The bear will go for the easy catch 'up-sized' meal

Know what you are saying.... And those bears were not even trying...

But honestly - it takes a special sort of idiot to get out of their car and walk up close to an animal with the destructive capacity of a black bear when they can't even bend over to tie up their shoelaces let alone waddle away with any pace at all.... Not that I could out run a black bear - apparently they can hit 50kph - but I bet I could out run those folks...

I'm also kind amazed they all have cameras... Just wanting that special photo to finish off the trip? (literally). The net is full of close ups of bears... steal a couple ffs...

I really love this sentence: Dramatic footage shows tourists scattering as a mother bear charged towards them on a bridge in Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Yeah, it was really dramatic... :facepalm: I'd have thought dramatic meant the bear actually caught one or two of them... not that she and her cubs were having a bit of fun at the expense of some dumb people...

I can hear it now - "Look kids, you stroll towards them. They start to move and watch the oscillating lycra clad rear ends."

If we were like the rest of the animals... the fat/slow/injured would already be eaten.

So much for a superior race... we help the worst survive... and breed :(

Why does the name "Yogi" spring to mind.
I spent 3 weeks over there a few years ago and didn't eat a home cooked meal more than once in the whole 3 weeks. They spend their life eating out and usually big fatty shit meals. Was pretty shocking to be fair.:facepalm:

Put a grizzly in SoufAukland (or any major NZ centre with tons of Maccas, KFC and crap-food outlets)) and there'd be some shit's n' giggles watching the fatties run:devil2:

Doubt it, our biggies might be slow, but they can tell the difference between not giving a shit and out for blood. Those bears looked like they were having a laugh, or could smell some carls jr.

you dont have to run faster than the bear, just faster than the fat bastard beside you
