Mr. Yuk

Not my typical deviation, lol. Please full-view to see the transparency (depending on your browser). Er, I wish the thumb and small-view didn't look so crappy.

Mr. Yuk is mean
Mr. Yuk is green!

Home is full of lots of things that children shouldn't touch
Home is full of bad things that can hurt you very much
Now there's a man whose face is green that you ought to get to know
He'll warn you when danger's coming fast or slow

Get to know his face
in every single place

When you see it you'll know quick
things marked Yuk make you sick
Sick sick sick!
Sick sick sick!

Mr. Yuk is mean
Mr. Yuk is green!

I couldn't find any decent images of the old-school Mr. Yuk online so I decided to recreate the one I remember for the hell of it.

He is a mascot of the Poison Control Center and enjoyed a rather scary television campaign back in the 1970's-80's (get to know his face on youtube [link] ). Stickers can still be obtained for free by sending a SASE to the center [link] .

Of course, the whole premise was for parents to teach their kids that anything they marked with the Mr. Yuk stickers was poisonous.

Heh . . . I'm still mad at myself for not buying the Mr. Yuk t-shirt I saw at Media Play a few years ago.
