Christopher Robin given the boot

Winnie the Pooh gets a female companion. Chris Robin leaves. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4512770.stm)

I thought a guy hanging around with a bear was a little odd anyway. This makes perfect sense now.

I feel like there should be public outcry over this, and perhaps a little rioting, but I just can't seem to muster the energy. I'm sure it's no coincidence, their annoucing it while most people are too busy with holiday activities to respond, though. Smooth of them. ;)

Yeah, this is really stupid. I think the funniest reaction to this was by British fantasy author Neil Gaiman, who replaced himself on his blog with "Skippy, a fictional six-year-old tomboy and computer genius, with a small number of endearing catchphrases." too funny.

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered
"Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh ~ Kenny Loggins

And for their next trick they are going to out the camp piglet.

You're raping my childhood, you fiend

That's insane. No one screws with Pooh. Well, no one who's sanitary.
