Ohh, I was going to be banned sometime, anyway....

Not all of them--just Gestapo Pooh.

That's cool, thanks for posting it anyway. I've been more an Einsturzende fan than Rammstein, but that had me laughing. Perfect conjunction.

(Also, video is easy and fun, and there's lots of freeware out there. You could pick up the skills in a couple of days if you wanted.)

Pooh is no Nazi. Rabbit, on the other hand....

He's Winnie-ther-Pooh. Don't you know what "ther" means?

 
Shvetz 2009-08-23 04:29:09 PM  
So ALL Winnie the Pooh is banned? Or just the stuff with swatiskas on it? To be fair, it's a subtle yet important difference.

 
Theaetetus [TotalFark] 2009-08-23 04:29:58 PM  
Pooh is rather subversive, as the entire story is an allegory for capitalism in general, and an attack on the Federalist policies of the Robber Baron period in specific.

Would you want an entire nation cooking with pooh? I didn't think so.

I don't think this "journalist" gets subtlety. FTFHL: Russia Hammers Winnie the Pooh

The only reason that this is happening in russia is the same reason anything happens in russia. One crook probably controls the import of Winnie the Pooh toys and his Rival Controlls teddy ruxpin or whatever children play with these days and so the rival paid off whatever politician to ban Winnie the Pooh. Seriously. All of russia works like this and this kind of crap is the ONLY driving force for ANYTHING in Russia, with Putin (secretly the richest man in the world, and, coincidentally, the biggest thief) being example number one of this.

That's one of the best bastardizations of my childhood memories that I've seen.

They also banned "a flag with a cross." I suspect that large parts of Scandinavia are not going to be happy with that.

scottydoesntknow: Would you want an entire nation cooking with pooh?

In Russia it would be an improvement.

Millennium: I suspect that large parts of Scandinavia are not going to be happy with that.

Or England, given their flag has two crosses.

The State of Jefferson would be equally displeased.

I didn't see anything about banning Pooh outright.

Stupid article, don't you TotalFarkers pay so you can filter this crap out for me?

What about Alaska?

Piglet was only following Poohs orders when he placed all of Rabbits friends and relations into the gas chambers.

Soon the hundred acre woods will be cleansed and Pooh and Christopher Robin and Piglet will create a new, pure race of manbearpig!

Pooh did convert me to Tao. Philosophically anyway. Still an atheist.

It seems that the natural state of things is totalitarian rule, that if people aren't constantly working towards a free and fair society governments inevitably slide into tyranny.

Russia is a bear. Pooh is western representation of a retarded bear. Russians don't like their icon to be represented by a cartoony idiot with a scatological name.

At least they're banning a kid's franchise, not shooting reporters or gassing hostages.

 
F42 2009-08-23 06:21:28 PM

I was thinking the west coast from Vancouver BC to San Francisco. You can keep Alaska.
