I don't know what it is, but Winnie the Pooh really irritates me. First off, the cartoon is BORING. He just mopes around all the time and is all, "Oh help. Oh bother. Oh help and bother." What is that?
Second, he is sappy all the time. Seriously, go Google "Winnie the Pooh quotes" and see what you find. It's sickening!
I can't tell you I actually get the cartoon. I've never left it on long enough to get the full story. Either I've changed the channel or fallen asleep from all it's boringness! I know there's a rabbit, a pig, a donkey, an owl, Tigger and a boy. How do I even know that?!? I will tell you how. Because this bear and his gaggle of friends are WAY over commercialized! And, I've had the unfortunate experience of walking in to more than one baby room with Pooh all over the walls. Does no one else see the irony in hanging Pooh all over a baby's wall?!
And another thing. He has to be diabetic. I've never seen him eat anything but honey which is basically straight sugar! And diabetics tend to carry their weight around the middle. If in doubt, see the picture above! I have nothing against diabetics of course, but what is this diabetic bear teaching our children? Basically his message is, "Eat what you want. Nobody can tell you what to do. You don't have to wear pants if you don't want to!" Straight up rebellion.
And now there's a Winnie the Pooh movie. Well, help and bother me! There are commercials and movie trailers and previews and merchandise and so on and so on. Pooh in our faces everywhere we go. He will probably start showing up in Happy Meals with a free pot of diabetic inducing honey for the kiddos! Cause that's how he rolls!
So as for me, I'm pledging to go Pooh free. No cartoon, no movie and no Pooh on the walls. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to boycott red, half shirts and pots of honey as well. Winnie the Pooh, the creepy bear, is dead to me.
