Pooh Or Bambi?

While reading page 211 of my friend Janice’s new book, Have You Found Her, I read about a game that she and her friend SamÂplayed.
I’m not quite sure what the exact game was, but the question that came up was “Would you rather have to kill Winnie the Pooh, or Bambi?”
I wish that I had thought up such a question. It’s such a double edged sword of question, that I just love it.
There’s plenty of room to reason why you would be in such a situation that you would have to kill one of them, whether it be to save your own life, for food and water, a dare, whatever.
Winnie the Pooh? I could never kill him. Pooh is a mentally developed animal, he’s too lovable, soft spoken, and kind - he’s a one of a kind. Bambi on the other hand…
Bambi’s an undeveloped and stupid baby deer, a deer that’s probably carrying around all sorts of ticks full of nasty lyme disease - plus Bambi’s one of thousands of orphaned deer, and is not special.
So there you have it, if I’m ever put in the situation, Bambi would HAVE to go…are there any possible Pooh killers in the world? What could possibly make someone rather kill Pooh over Bambi? Anyone, I’d love to hear about it.
I would totally off Pooh in a heartbeat. I was always an Eeyore fan and resented that Pooh got all the publicity for basically being a fat, greedy layabout, especially as Eeyore just got more and more depressed and ultimately suicidal.
Wow! So Bambi wasn’t even part of the equation for you. I always found Eeyore to have had the depression as part of who he was, not necessarily caused by Pooh.
Well, I do think Bambi is far cuter, but fairly nonoffensive, so I let my loathing of Pooh take over. Also, I like conspiracy theories, even in my cartoons.
Experiment: write a conspiracy about the two, and see how long it takes before it’s linked up on “the unhived mind”
I have to say I would off Pooh for two reasons…
1. he is named after a gross bodily function
2. He has inspired a horible decorating and fashion trend. Have you ever seen a middle aged suburban mom in a Bambi t-shirt…I think not.
While pooh is a fat, lazy, and uneducated bastard, I’d still off Bambi. I freaking hate deer.
Anon2, Thankfully I don’t see Pooh shirted soccer moms in NYC.
Todd, hate is such a strong word for all deer, no? Can’t we just hate Bambi?
