6. Winnie the Pooh
Ever wonder why most cartoon bears don’t wear pants? Councilors in the Polish town of Tuszyn had a furious debate over this and decided to ban Winnie the Pooh from a local playground. Town officials said the bear’s lack of pants and genitals made him an inappropriate role model for children.

Pooh was proposed to be the face of a Tuszyn park, but councilors struck down the plan. During a heated town meeting in 2014, town officials ripped the honey-loving cartoon apart, and called him a “hermaphrodite.”
One even called his creator Alan Alexander Milne a “disturbing man” who cut off Pooh’s testicles with a razor blade because he was “uncomfortable with his identity.”
The council suggested an alternative: Misio Uszatek, a fully-dressed cartoon bear of Polish fame.
