Every week there's at least one weird story to come from the gaming industry and this has to be one of the strangest at its surface level. It's hard to imagine that an entire country such as China would have a problem with a bear whose only real problem is that he has no real problems, but when you look a little deeper into Chinese President Xi Jinping and his relationship with the honey eating bear, this strange headline begins to make more sense.

    I believe it's entirely unfair to characterize Pooh Bear as having "no real problems". You guys have never had to deal with a severe honey addiction.

    He keeps refusing to go to rehab, and the last time he relapsed he was found peddling his ass at the bus station, hoping to score a quarter-jar. And when I say, "his ass", I'm not referring to Eyeore.

    Not to speak of all the times he has gotten stuck in a tree trying to get that last drop of honey.

      He'd be more employable if he put pants on.

    In any case, as anyone who's read the Appendix to the Apocrypha of Milne's extended works knows, Pooh has major problems [skrause.org] as he goes "OWT CHAGIG THE DRAGGN".
