Winnie the Poop

A pink snowsuit that has the likeness, but not the name, of Winnie the Pooh has a central Newfoundland family wondering if they bought a fraudulent garment.

Elsie Johnson said her grand-daughter was mortified that the snowsuit's label says "Winnie the Poop," and not the actual name of A.A. Milne's beloved bear.



"She didn't want other children laughing at her. No kid would, really," Johnson said. "She practically refused to wear the jacket, because it was embarrassing. At age 5, she knew it wasn't right."

The garment, though, boasts an embroidered image of Winnie the Pooh, a trademarked image owned by Disney.
