Satirical News Post 2: John Lewis Bear Makes A Real Whoopsie

Christmas cheer sweeps across the nation, as the annual John Lewis Christmas advert is unveiled. However, the star of the advertising campaign, the bear has recently been papped defecating in the Epping Forest region. He has shocked the nation by resorting to such behaviour, which has impacted the entire English community.

         
   A spokesperson from John Lewis has issued a heartfelt apology on behalf of the retail chain and their acting bear, who has been named after A. A. Milne’s anthropomorphic ‘Pooh Bear’. He claimed that Pooh Bear has been suffering from intense pressure, particularly in light of the fact his annual hibernation was disrupted in order to this national advertising campaign. “One is always on edge when their sleeping pattern is interrupted.”

            Furthermore, the renowned and beloved Bugs Bunny, who was the desired actor for the part, was already engaged when filming for the John Lewis campaign commenced. The only option for the retail franchise John Lewis was to employ Thackery Earwicket, also known as The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland, whom is recognised as perennially agitated and thoroughly frenzied. He suffers from psychotic tendencies and has been hospitalised on a number of occasions at the institute of Bellevue. Associating with this personality resulted in a number of personality and physical clashes between bear and hare and has had a number of negative impacts upon Pooh Bear’s demeanour.

In fact, Pooh Bear has been driven into the association with celebrities who have been in the public eye for less than philanthropic actions. For the past couple of weeks, twitter has been have inundated with images of Pooh Bear twerking with Miley Cyrus, lighting up suspicious cigarettes with Justin Bieber and practicing his boxing punch on unsuspecting women with Chris Brown.

Parents have been up in arms about the bear’s unruly behaviour and showing concern that their children may emulate the bear’s actions. Mr and Mrs Dunny, from Piddle River, Dorset, had just managed to toilet-train their three year old; however, after seeing these scenes of defecation, little tyke Johnny has resorted to public mimicry of the vilest sort. His potty-training lessons forgotten, Johnny now relieves himself against trees, squats in forests and sniffs scat trails from other creatures. They blame John Lewis for promoting Pooh Bear, who they say, is clearly unable to handle the demands of being a role model for children. They wish to petition for Pooh Bear’s replacement in John Lewis’ Christmas advertisement.
