Goodmorning. Here is something stupid:
Winnie the Pooh has been banned from a Polish playground because of his “dubious sexuality” and “inappropriate” dress.
The much-loved animated bear was suggested at a local council meeting to decide which famous character should become the face of the play area in the small town of Tuszyn. But the idea soon sparked outrage among more conservative members, with one councillor even denouncing poor Pooh as a “hermaphrodite”.
“The problem with that bear is it doesn’t have a complete wardrobe,” said Ryszard Cichy during the discussion. “It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children.”
“The author was over 60 and cut [Pooh’s] testicles off with a razor blade because he had a problem with his identity,” she said.
Here’s the thing, Winnie the Pooh should be banned but not because he doesn’t wear pants. He should be banned because he glamorizes stealing honey and tells children to play with bees. It’s like he’s never even seen My Girl.
