We’ve all been here, haven’t we?: You dress up in a Winnie-the-Pooh costume with a couple of your friends (dressed as a mouse and a panther, of course) when some people start laughing at you for going out like that in person. You get so mad at them that you kick the crap out of them and take their wallets.
This story, practically as old as time itself, happened to a 20-year old in Japan recently according to police. Sure, one could blame the fact that he was wearing a costume as grounds to laugh, but who is the real culprit here. We all know who is at fault: Pooh. Without Pooh’s harmful influence, this man might not be facing criminal charges. His cries of “Oh, bother!” and incessant honey eating have been degrading children generation after generation. Let’s not forget that he is, in fact, a bear, or that his best friend, Piglet, has a tao, whatever that is.
Yes, this blog snickered at the word, “Pooh.”
