OT: Seriously though...maybe the california police should be putting out notice on Pokemon too, since I've seen that used in forums along the same lines....sigh. This article made me hurt inside my brain
I love, love, LOVE this overreaction from the CA police, because it means some idiot /b/tard is going to be harassed and driven to distraction by some cop, and I'm always in favor of /b/tards getting shit on by society at large. Not only is it sweet justice for their asshole behavior on the Internet, it also tends to piss them off, driving them to greater feats of humorous hey-look-at-me stupidity, reinforcing the stereotype and starting the cycle (and the comedy) afresh.
When I went to PAX this year (Prime-2010, my first PAX) I saw some asshole dressed up as pedobear right outside they where they check your badges after you get up the escalators. There was what looked like a fully grown women dressed to look like a little girl posing by him and a bunch of people standing around taking pictures. I was walking past the badge checkers (showing them my three-day pass, of course), one of them, an older woman maybe in her 70s or so was looking at pedobear. I swear to God this is true, I overheard her talking to another WA States convention center employee saying
"...I don't know either, they seem to think it's funny..."
I actually think that it's not funny and really stupid. I get that it's a reference to the 404 error pages of The Website That Will Not Be Named, but there's really nothing amusing about the reference itself besides the pure shock value, which gets old fast. I think what that guy did at the Comic-con is totally wrong because those kids are going to be really creeped out by those photos of them with pedobear when they are old enough to understand it.
EDIT: Further thoughts:
I do find it kind of ironic that California has more pedo bears than grizzly bears, despite the latter being on our state's goddamn flag. In case you don't know, hunters killed off all the grizzlies more than a century ago, and what was once the symbol of our state's greatness is now extinct here. Whoops.
EDIT X2: I found pictures of the PAX pedobear I saw:

And this is an exact example of how Pedobear is used as a comedy prop.Judas Iscariot said:Lets just hope my sister never hears of this... My niece and nephew love the plush toy I sent them.

It's Pedobear, the Pedestrian Bear! See him walk! Running bear!
He marches, determined! Where is he going? To YOUR home! NOW!
Deeply twisted "humor," but as much as I don't like it, I don't see any pedophilia here.
Still, a pedobear bumpersticker is a likely "Anti-date" sign...

Or they could just beat the crap out of him and let him be on his way...Bon_Clay said:
OT: Now I have a legit reason for wanting to buy a automatic weapon:
Gun Shop Owner: Now what kind of gun are you looking for?
Me: Automatic, preferably a rifle.
Why!?
In case of Pedobear...
*hands me assault rifle*
Gods speed, bother!
You know, I never had a reason to write this conversation before now...
I can't wait until someone gets beat up because some kid put a pedobear decal on their car or something, and the police are perplexed as to why it happened.
Pedobear is unfunny and all, but a pedophile's mascot?

This seems way too early to be an April Fools' joke.
