The Hanna-Barbera cartoon
character "Yogi Bear" was invented as a
twist on his name While Hanna and
Barbara denied that the bear's name was based on that of the popular
catcher, every kid knew the truth. oYogi Berra reminded everyone of Yogi the
Bear. There were no other Yogi's in the world, except for these two.
However, ogi did not like being called Yogi BearIn February 2005,
Yogiiled a lawsuit against
Turner Broadcasting System. He alleged that they unfairly used his name in a
racy advertisement for the TV series Sex and the City. The
advertisement asked what the definition of a "yogasm" is: (a) a type of
yo-yo trick; (b) sex with Yogi Berra; or (c) what Samantha has with a guy
from yoga class. (The answer given was "C".) This case was settled out of
court for an undisclosed sum of money.
To celebrate Yogi's birthday, we suggested renting a copy of A Time
for Champions" (2009). a great documentary film recounting his
childhood memories of soccer in St. Louis and enjoying a cup of spicy Yogi
Tea, You can purchase a variety of commercial Yogi Teas, including
including green, herbal, black and red tea, which are a little pricey,
or be adventurous and make your own.
