He is a stuffed bear, and the imagination of Christopher Robin Milne. Please, somebody get a life.

Guess they've never been to San Francisco or Mardi Gras.

I don’t know what they’re upset about. Everyone knows Puglet is the flasher.

Many oppose Bathhouse Barry and Moochelle for the same reason.

I’d be more opposed because bears are associated with Russians.

This isn’t about poo....It’s about the Bear...symbol of Russia. The poles were the most hateful group in our town where Ukrainians and Russians lived side by side as brothers.
