Yogi Bear In the Movies

Stephen Kerr — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:02:36 +0000

I wondered how long this would take, but Yogi Bear is being made into an animated movie, in 3D, no less, to be released this coming December 17.

Yogi Bear will be voiced by Dan Aykroyd, while Justin Timberlake will be the voice of Boo-Boo. Anna Faris plays a filmmaker who travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a documentary, and runs across Yogi and Boo-Boo.

Check out a trailer here:

A Successful Plastic Boat Ride

David de Rothschild, skipper of the boat Plastiki, sailed all the way from San Francisco to Sydney, Austrailia, a voyage that covered 8000 nautical miles over a four-month period.

This doesn’t sound particularly unusual, until you discover this was no ordinary boat: it was made almost entirely of plastic bottles, over 12,000 of them, to be exact! Rothschild wanted to increase awareness of the dangers of plastic waste, after reading a United Nations report that claimed plastic waste was posing a serious threat to the world’s oceans.

The 60-foot catamaran had to fight fierce Pacific storms, but docked in Sydney to the cheers of 100 people who gathered to see the unusual boat.

Very clever, indeed.

A New Theory On Obesity

I’m filling in for Alex on Majic In the Morning for the next couple weeks, and Friday morning, I talked about an article that has another take on why there is increased problems with obesity in the U.S.

A White House Task Force recently released a report citing a class of chemicals in our food called endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDC’s, that are making us fat.
