I think the public domain depiction of Pooh didn't wear a shirt or have those proportions and that Disney might have a trademark claim on that book. Sure, it has a green shirt. But I bet if I released a yellow and purple Spider-Man, they'd sue.

What the actual hell?

How fucked up does the world have to be to put Winnie the Pooh as the voice of reason during a shooting?

They would rather pit preschoolers against mass shooters than pass gun reform

Just what A.A. Milne always would have wanted.

Pathetic. People apparently love guns more than their babies.

Until they find some reason to ban it. For not being pro-gun enough, maybe.

Well, Pooh *doesn't* wear pants after all.

This is so bleak

I'm still struggling with how completely fucked all of this is

So is this the kind of thing where one pissed-off parent can veto it for everyone? Or does that only apply to school material that recognizes the humanity and equality of certain disfavored populations?
