10 Unbearably Awkward Movie Posters

7. 'Yogi Bear' Implies Gay Relationship

Yogi Bear There's nothing wrong with depicting a gay relationship on a movie poster, though I doubt that Warner Bros. wanted their world-famous bear duo to come across that way, in a move that, to any sensible, worldly person, smacks of a disgruntled poster artist seeing what he could get away with. Firstly, there's the bizarre positioning of Yogi and Boo-Boo which, combined with Yogi's joyous expression, handily suggests that something...unexpected is going on. Then there's the tagline - "Great things come in bears" - and while the positioning could have been a simple mistake, it's hard to discount the collusion of the image with the tagline as anything less than deliberate. Not just inappropriate for the kiddies - though thankfully it'll fly right over their heads - but just plain creepy for everyone else.
