Police Say ‘Beware of Pedobear!’

Posted by on September 14th, 2010

Looks like the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department has finally got an internet connection, and what they’ve found has creeped them out. According to the police, the Internet darling known as ‘Pedobear’ is a secret symbol used by those who would prey on underage children. While they’ve got the basic gist of the meme they have completely missed the point of the character, which is trotted out in Internet discussions to point out when a story or post is unintentionally creepy.

Unfortunately this means if you are among the with it and hip who have a Pedobear t-shirt or sticker odds are if you make your way to California you might just draw the attention of the authorities.

    I hope the news is not spreading half truths again.

    That’s conservative America for you! If they get a single touch from a stranger, they will label that person as a sex offender.

    Also, calling Pedobear a mascot for pedophiles is like calling Hamburgular a mascot for thieves.

    I actually did a psychological look at everyone’s favorite child-chasing bear. You can read it at: http://www.mangatherapy.com/post/1167215508/pedobear-psychology

    Face it, Pedobear is never going to go away. I think he brings out a strong message against society exploiting others.
