The members of a Polish town council recently banned Winnie the Pooh from a local playground for his "dubious sexuality" and for being "inappropriately dressed."

In a meeting to discuss a new mascot for the park, the members rejected the fictional bear after it was suggested, People Magazine reported.

Councilor Ryszard Cichy said that the problem with that bear is it doesn't have a complete wardrobe and is half naked, which is wholly inappropriate for children, doesn't wear underpants because it doesn't have a sex and is a hermaphrodite.

Another councilor Hanna Jachimska said that it is very disturbing, and the author was over 60 and cut Pooh's testicles off with a razor blade because he had a problem with his identity.
