Ankara. The authorities in Turkey imposed censorship of the cartoon for Winnie the Pooh of the Walt Disney Studios because of the participation of the Piglet, AFP reports citing publications in the Turkish press. According to the info the Turkish state owned TV TRT took the decision on basis that the pig for the Islam was a notorious character, AFP comments. First the leadership of the TV channel considered the variant of cut all scenes with the participation of the Piglet but afterwards gave up the idea because of the leading role of the best friend of the Winnie the Pooh. Other private TV channels are still broadcasting the cartoon and the VHS cassettes are freely on sale, AFP comments.
Leave the rampaging to classic Looney Tunes.

"Well, I'm offended that you can't see that Eeyore is suffering from chronic depression and can't afford to get professional help. Universal health care would have solved that. ; )."
Um, Eeyore is a stuffed animal. Stuffed animals CAN'T be depressed. They don't have brains. Which, again, actually proves my point--Eeyore is a Democrat. 8)

Ha ha charade you are.
They believe that Jews are the offspring of pigs and monkeys. They believe that eating of pig flesh will make a person take on the traits and personality of "the pig".
They need to wake up and enter the 21st century.
If they were going to be "good" muslims, they would shun cartoons (and television) altogether. Islam (at least in some interpretations) prohibits drawings of living things (including pigs). Winnie the Pooh was a doll, so he's okay. But Christopher Robin was a boy. And the O-W-L owl....
Off with their heads!
Ever see "Apocalypse Pooh"?

This alone should disqualify from EU entrance. Pathetic.
This is so medieval.
