TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they

stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday.

Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.

“It’s uncommon to see people dressed up like this, so the victims were watching them. Then the perpetrator came up

and said ‘What are you staring at?'” a police spokesman said.

Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.

After reading this it just really makes you wonder, besides what’s wrong with people, who (let alone three friends            together) have nothing to wear so they look in each of their closets and have nothing in it but a winnie-the-pooh,            mouse, and panther costume?  And how dumb would you feel going to the police station knowing that you have tell            these police officers you just got robbed by Winnie-the-Pooh?  Wow…
