The reason why Winnie The Pooh was ruled out was because he dresses inappropriately and he is a bear of "dubious sexuality," according to
NBC.
Some of the officials criticized the author of Winnie The Pooh, describing
A.A. Milne as "disturbing."
Ryszard Cichy, a councilor,
said the problem with the bear is that he didn't have a complete wardrobe, and since he is half-naked, it is inappropriate for children.
Cichy suggested a Polish fictional bear by the name of
Misio Uszatek. He said that their bear is dressed from head to toe, unlike Winnie The Pooh, who only wears a shirt.
Another concilor, Hanna Jachimska, said A.A. Milne was over 60 and he decided to cut off the bear's testicles with a razor blade because he had an issue with Pooh's identity, according to
The Independent.
As of now, the councilors still haven't decided who will be the mascot of the children's playground.
Some local residents have said that law officials are wasting their time on such an issue, and others have also compared Pooh's low intellect with those who are concerned with the topic at hand.
