Apparently there are some memes that have been circulating since 2013 that compare President Xi Jinping to the Pooh bear. Now when Pooh is searched, an error message comes up saying it is illegal content.

And you thought CNN was sensitive.

quote:

Winnie the Pooh has been censored from Chinese social media after unflattering memes compared the honey-loving bear to the country’s President Xi Jinping. Ahead of the country’s Communist party congress this autumn, posts featuring the beloved children's book character were censored on the Chinese social network Sina Weibo. Searches for the “Little Bear Winnie” – as Pooh is called in China – returned the error message “content is illegal”. Meanwhile, animated gifs fearing Pooh vanished from messaging app WeChat.

True FooMan. I wasn't sure these were the real ones because they seem so dumb. Can't believe anyone would find these offensive.
