Sheriff's department warns parents of Pedo Bear image

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sheriff's department warns parents of Pedo Bear image (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 9/11/2010 9:51:06 PM EDT

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department is warning
parents about a disturbing new phenomenon made popular by
pedophiles and sexual deviants.

The Pedo Bear began as an online Japanese cartoon character, and
is known for his "lecherous nature" towards prepubescent
children.

Recently, pedophiles have adopted the bear as a mascot.

Although there have been no reported sightings of the image on
the Central Coast, individuals dressed in the bear costume and
car decals have been seen in Southern California.

Local law enforcement cautions parents to be aware of the image,
particularly at public events. For concerns about the image,
contact the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement division of the
sheriff's department at 805-781-4550.

This is seriously in the news now?

What's next? MSNBC declaring "dancing baby" to be a cultural phenomenon?

I think this is about the funniest thing on the internets. At least one of the people on the show HAD to know that this was a /b setup, and instead of suggesting a little more research before she went and made a fool of herself in front of millions, they let it go through. How awesome is that?

I was behind some woman driving a Honda Element at an intersection and noticed that she had a Pedobear sticker on the back window, making it look as if the bear was peeking up from inside the car. I took a picture, but subsequently deleted it. CSB.

I damn near caused a paperwork riot at a school when I pulled a pedo-bear sticker off a kid and turned it in at the office.

"Why is this so important that you'd turn it in?"

*explains pedo-bear*

"I'm calling SWAT."

Admins freaked out. Turns out the kid knew what it meant and thought it was funny, so he printed up shit on his personal printer and wore it around.

Small point of order: Pedobear didn't start as a Japanese cartoon, it was the generic bear cops kept in the trunk for investigations.

Saw one of these stickers on the back of a toyota pickup a couple of weeks ago at the Costco in Silverdale, WA.

As we were loading up the back of the truck, a 45-ish year old lady in nurses scrubs gets in it and drives off.

It was difficult to explain to the wife as I was laughing so much.

"Show me on the bear where he touched you"

Can't verify that. I can verify that this story has the most truth from what I've read:

"2004 was the year, and new memes were coming and going everyday –– one of which was Osaka Phone, an ASCII image of Osaka from the anime Azumanga Daioh holding a phone to her ear. Osaka Phone is long dead now, but it was the beginning of Pedobear's rise to internet fame, money, and power. Many of today's most prominent memes were born in the time frame between 2004 and 2005, though none can contest the lasting power of Pedobear.

It began as a simple Osaka Phone thread, but Pedobear's lecherous nature could not be held back even in his first days of speaking English. He called her with a proposition that no loli would have the sense to refuse (or understand). From that moment forward, Pedobear's taste in women was known, and it was a sentiment that would be scribed into the blogs of internet meme historians for decades to come.

Over the weeks and months, Pedobear grew famous for his seal of approval towards prepubescent girls and his catchphrase "is dat sum loli". The Pedobear Seal of Approval has lived on, while "is dat sum loli" has faded away like so many other memes who have made their small mark on internet culture. The phrases that he is often seen with these days vary greatly and will likely fade out just as his flagship "is dat sum loli", but the Seal of Approval has proven to have the lasting power to thrive in image boards, forums, and blogs unlike any other.

Abstract (Document Summary)
LARGO - A friendly, furry creature called Happy Bear will help teach Pinellas elementary school children this year what to do if they are sexually molested.

The bear - actually a volunteer wearing a bear suit - appeared Wednesday with guidance counselor Gaye Lively to demonstrate the child molestation awareness lesson for 75 other elementary guidance counselors at a workshop.

Ms. Lively has used the lesson for two years at Seminole Elementary, where she teaches. The lesson is produced by the Kansas Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse and distributed locally by the St. Petersburg Evening Chapter of Women's American Organization for Rehabilitation through Training (ORT).

“Comfort Bear” toy drive to help children involved in tragedies
June 29, 2009 · Published By Editor

Maricopa County, AZ – Arizona Highway Patrol Association (AHPA) leads off their yearly “Comfort Bear” toy drive now through July 26th to help console kids impacted by tragedy. AHPA is urging those willing to help by donating any stuffed animal, as the level is significantly lower from years past.

“Car accidents, domestic abuse situations and violent crime impact everyone, and when there’s children involved, the ramifications are especially difficult,” stated Sgt. Jimmy Chavez, President of AHPA. “The supply of “Comfort Bears” has dwindled to a level never seen by the AHPA and the need is greater than ever.”

Arizona Highway Patrol Association is collecting new stuffed animals, nicknamed “Comfort Bears”, to help comfort and distract children from trauma. These stuffed toys are distributed to law enforcement personnel throughout the state to provide a level of ease to these children. “Comfort Bears” are usually kept in the trunks of law enforcement vehicles for immediate use.

The reason Pedobear was calling Osaka would probably be that pedobear was:

The site describes itself as a "two-channel fan club “SUKUE shop” site."
Keep scrolling and you´ll find “safety bear” or “safety kuma” in a picture that resembles the “pedobear seal of approval” far beyond any reasonable doubt.
This is the theory I´ve heard:
Safety bear was created to adress to children on safety issues, so, he was often portrayed in the company of small children.
It was a matter of time before someone make the suggestion that perhaps safety bear was a pedo, somewhere around that time it was adopted by 4chan and the rest is history.

Meh, SLO... Instead of going after them for being pedos, they'll probably cite them for their pedobear stickers being too large and violating the sign ordinance

I fucking hate that town. You can't find the fucking fast food joints because they won't let them put up signs that you can see from more than 1/4 block away...
