Winnie the Pooh's had it rough lately; things are rumbly in more than the just the bear's tumbly.

First, a few silly old judges told Pooh that he couldn't get extra helpings from Uncle Walt's billion-dollar honey pot. Then, a business blocked the pathway to Pooh's playground in the U.K. And now that we've detected a rash of searches for "gangsta pooh bear cartoons," we're starting to grow a little concerned for Pooh's well-being. It's time for a little intervention in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Eeyore's dark cloud may be hanging over Pooh Corner, but let's not forget that "winnie the pooh" holds an honored place in the top 2,000 searches. And, yes, Pooh may be a bit obsessive compulsive with his honey, but both kids and grownups are just as obssesed with Pooh Bear. The Tigger's share of queries come from the under-17 crowd (52%), but the rest are evenly spread among the older set. Cheer up, Pooh, you're just having a few blustery days.
