Winnie the Pooh

     The daily fact for August 3, 2017 was "Winnie the Pooh is banned in China, it is censored by the government." This is actually because China believes that Winnie the Pooh looks too much like president Xi JinPing, according to BBC news.

I have to admit. Winnie the Pooh kind of looks like president Xi Jinping.

     China is not the only place that has banned Winnie the Pooh. Polish officials have blocked a school from 
using Winnie the Pooh as its mascot. One counselor stated: "The problem with that bear is it doesn't have
a complete wardrobe. It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children!" 

     Well, all in all, I guess a formerly friendly children's character has turned into a whole new riot.
