do tigger and pooh need help?
posted on Sunday, August 2, 2009 by Kevin in [Books, Childhood, Culture, Fluff, Insight, TV and Films, random facts]For what passes as entertainment in the jump household – I offer this little insight. 
there was some ‘nearly’ classic Winnie-the-pooh on playhouse Disney this morning, which had us all watching, especially as it’s coinciding with the reading of the Winnie-the-pooh stories at bedtime. they where mixing there stories so we had eeyore in the river, then his birthday.
Anyway I was interested to see just when we where talking about, so i did some interneting, and got to a few interesting things, including the fact that disney makes $1 billion dollars a year from pooh! also in 2000 the Canadian Medical journal published a paper about what was wrong with everyone in the hundred acre wood.
Apparently pooh bear has ADHD and OCD, Tigger is hyperactive and owl is dyslexic : yes, but it’s quite depressing to then read that given the chance the people who did the study would be drugging up half the forest – mainly to cure these problems. I don’t see why ?Pooh is perfectly happy with his lot, why does he need drugs, and if you took the bounce out of Tigger then everybody’s life would be sadder.

As a mum of an ADHD family I know exactly why they would think that but if we were lucky enough to live the life of Pooh we wouldn’t bother. What a laugh!
Grrr at Disney.
I smell “non-negotiable support”…
