Polish town bans Winnie the Pooh due to his lack of genitals

By Abi Simpson

The Polish town of Tuszyn has banned Winnie the Pooh due to his lack of sexuality.

Councillor Ryszard Cichy was recorded saying: "The problem with that bear is it doesn't have a complete wardrobe.

"It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children."

They have argued that the Polish version of the bear is more suitable for children, as he is fully dressed from head to toe.

The decision to ban the bear was put down to his "dubious sexuality" and "inappropriate dress."

One official was heard saying: "It doesn't wear underpants because it doesn't have a sex.  It's a hermaphrodite."

The council went on to criticise the author A.A.Milne saying the reason Pooh appears to have no genitals is because they were castrated with a razor blade by the author.

Councillor Hanna Jachimska suggested that the author was "disturbing."

The Associated Press have since reported that the conversation was said in jest.

Cichy has recently told a newspaper that he was joking, after the official conversation regarding naming a children's park after the bear had gone on too long.

It's a good thing that the Council didn't continue to look at the rest of the Hundred Acre Wood gang, as Eeyore and Tigger may have proved even more controversial.
