Default Bears called Mohamed....just wont do!

I have just heard that the Bear community is furious and disgusted after one of them was named Mohamed last week!
A spokesman for the Bear community said "we have tolerated things long enough... first there was the insult of naming a bear Winnie the Pooh,
Then came the unforgivable act of purposly blinding Pudsey Bear (children in need) for the sole purpose of generating sympathy donations (apparently everybody feel sorry for a blind bear).... But to name a bear Mohamed is one insult too many"
The bear council also implied that there was a strong possibility that unless a full apology was received from the Muslim Hierachy.... a global strike affecting Zoos, wildlife parks, tea parties and general street dancing entertainments would not be ruled out.
A senior Koala commented "it took years for us to get over the gay stigma of Rupert the Bear without all this Mohamed nonsense.... it really is a Bear Cheek"!

Since when were Koala's part of the Bear community? I seem to remember a long and arduous movement to gain independence from that misconception.

I think you will find that the koala is not only the founding member of the bear community; it is indeed the founding member of most communities here on earth. Along with the crocodile the koala is one of the oldest species to inhabit this planet... in fact.... it is said that the Koala's closest relative is indeed the crocodile, as they have both inhabited the earth for around 350 million years.
Did you know?.......Although the Koala gives the impression that it is a land based animal only, the Koala is indeed one of the great swimmers of this world..On par with the likes of dolphins, otters and mermaids!
Some conspiracy theorists still maintain that the Koala's (with their swimming capabilities) were solely responsible for the assassination of Steve Irwin (explained in a previous post).
Remarkable as it all must seem....The Koala was once a 15 meter long aquatic killer.... and although it may have evolved into what you see today.... still maintains many of its original traits!

I do hope that this isn't going to get blown up out of all proportion

Oh I won't argue with you over the danger of koala's. I can just imagine one poking it's thumb spike through someone's eye or an overzealous Irwin's chest. Have you ever tried wrestling with a koala? They fight dirty! :P
