blasphemy

According to the BBC, "After 80 years in Hundred Acre Wood, Winnie the Pooh is to get a female friend, replacing Christopher Robin, according to reports. The Walt Disney Company has decided to pair Pooh up with a red-haired six-year-old tomboy for its 2007 series..."

I know I'm a purist, but isn't little Christopher Robin girly enough for all of us? And couldn't the little girl character have been added without axing my beloved C. Robin??

i am stunned. as usual, dizzney passed over the obvious: add a little liza to be c. robin's best girlfriend. no tomboy, she should be a dancer/singer/actress who is always wearing her tap shoes. how can we stop them from this injustice?

Even a non-tomboy who was a singer/dancer/actress and walked around in tap shoes would be less girly than C. Robin. After all - he IS British!
