Winnie the Pooh will no longer be the face of a Polish playground because officials say he is of "dubious sexuality."
"The problem with that bear is it doesn't have a complete wardrobe. It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children," Councilor Ryszard Cichy said during a Tuszyn town meeting in Poland.
A Polish bear was then suggested as the new face for the playground, as it is fully dressed.
"Ours is dressed from head to toe, unlike Pooh who is only dressed from the waist up," Cichy said.
Other council members were on board with getting rid of Winnie the Pooh because of the bear's sexuality.
"It doesn't wear underpants because it doesn't have a sex. It's a hermaphrodite," another unnamed councilor was caught saying.
The author of Winnie the Pooh, Alan Alexander Milne, was also criticized in the meeting.
"This is very disturbing but can you imagine! The author was over 60 and cut his [Pooh's] testicles off with a razor blade because he had a problem with his identity," councilor Hanna Jachimska added during the meeting.
The councilors agreed they will work on making a formal decision on who the new bear on the playground will be. The only thing made clear is that Winnie the Pooh is definitely out of the running.
