Oh wait, it gets better...
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”.
Okay, that's as far as I go with this one, the full article's at The Independent UK:

No stranger than the Turkish military banning "Game of Thrones" from being viewed on military property.

Yes, clearly A.A. Milne was a pervert all along. Thanks to the councillors, we now know the truth.

Considering how long half-dressed cartoon animals have been around, you'd think this still wouldn't be an issue for some people. Can't please 'em all, it seems.
