We all know and love the friend of our childhood, Winnie the Pooh; A friendly character who loves honey and gave us the lovely knowledge that friends can be as close as family. Apparently other people see it differently.
A name of a new park in Tuszyn, Poland was originally meant to feature Winnie the Pooh. However, Pooh has been considered to be an unfit role model for children by local politicians. This is due to the rather debatable theory that Winnie the Pooh is infact a 'half-naked hermaphrodite'.
Polish reporters have been told by a member of the public that: "Winnie the Pooh is a bear with low intellect, and unfortunately, this is also evident in those who are concerned with the topic". He also added: "Winnie the Pooh is an alcoholic and a liar''... "He walks with no underwear and has cut off his testicles". Really???
Unimpressed, many of the locals think that their elected representatives have gone too much in depth with such a trivial issue.
It is undecided yet whether Winnie the Pooh will be used in naming the new park, or whether Polish cartoon bear, 'Mis Uszatek' who is fully clothed, will be used instead.
Here at Mumii we feel Winnie the Pooh is a much loved character, who is kind and innocent, and overall a good role model for our children.
What are your thoughts?
