A Californian police department has published a warning to the public entitled “Public Safety Information Bulletin: A Seemingly Innocent Menace: An Introduction to PEDO BEAR.”
The warning comes by way of San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department:
Sneaky lolicon dressing up as their own mascot in order to get close to little children may now find their cunning subterfuge fatally compromised, whilst “innocent” Pedobear cosplayers can now consider themselves lucky if they get off with merely being Tasered and placed on a sex offenders’ registry.

Coming up next: Child molesters dress up as regular people! Remain frantic, paranoid and ever afraid of everything in this evil world.
LOL was wondering when this would happen XD
What is this I don't even...
How stupid can the police be? How can they even post a warning on something that not only doesn't exist in the first place and isn't real, but also a harmless mascot that is just 4chan's mascot for real pedophiles?
It's just a fucking mascot and an internet meme! This is getting ridiculous.
Might as well post an all-points bulletin for ManBearPig.
Epic fail police is epic fail, that's all I gotta say. ::facepalm::
SLO
maybe kuma will sue for slander, identity theft, and defamation ?
Super fail San Diago... super fail.
Real pedos don't dress look like cute, cuddly bears.
Didn't South Park do an episode with a Pedo Panda or somethig like it a few seasons back.
Sexual Harassment Panda.
Note to San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department:
Where's your warning about the people playing the characters at Disneyland?
I'm sure if you're a parent you'll take this seriously. And if you aren't you'll dismiss it with internet idiocy.
I get it.
Pedobear is like Hitler, but only worse. He wants to be in your children, and then murder them. Police officers are right to protect and inform the public against this very real menace.
i wonder why people rate down irony. i mean, this comment is obviously irony.
you may not care... but "PEDO" means "flart" in spanish, so.. for me, and other californians, its quite hilarious XD
te hechastes un pedo o te hechastes a un pedo.....
You mean you and your cousins who hopped the border, right?
I think G4's "Attack of the Show" said it best when they reported this story
"With this story, we'd like to formerly welcome the police to the internet"
And now I am scared to go to the next Anime Banzai in my costume. We will see what happens I guess...
I lived in San Luis Obispo for 9 years, and this screams to me as a joke. The city is home to Cal Poly, a California State school. College pranksters abound, and our graphic arts and journalism departments have been pumping out stuff like this for years. Recently they published a fake set of quotes regarding the Mustang Daily, a local newspaper. The quotes were such as, Mustang Daily, "Runs the most prolific Meth lab on the Central Coast," "Instills fear in the heart of many," Doesn't run photos if the subjects are too ugly," and 6 more. I smell me a joke.
sounds feasible
The thing about this I found the most interesting was that the police quoted the only definition in dictionary.com that uses the term "perversion". It's certainly a "perversion" in the classical psychological sense, but in common usage that's a very loaded word. I prefer it to be called a "paraphilia", which sounds much more cuddly.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. You have sharp eyes. They have to keep on their demonizing quota.
Pedophiles aren't the problem. Child molesters are. Learn the difference.
FUCK YOU AMERICA!!
The entire continent or just the US?
the US and the A
...and here I thought Bobby Jindal was embarrassing.
I've never been more ashamed to be Californian.
They might as well put out an alert that any adult buying Alice in Wonderland be checked out by authorities, and reported by the bookstore that made the sale. Or how about any adult seen buying manga...or how about....
well. you get it.
this is fucked up,but ofcourse...major LULZ!
The bear might have to be put in the endangered species list now and be protected because of this.
Is this an epic fail in logic, or epic win in ignorance?
The Americans missed an opportunity to connect Richard Dawkins to pedophiles.
This can't be real, is there any proof that it's genuine? It reads more like a clever joke.
WTF?!
if you ask me it's fake
LOL
What's the next bulletin to come out? Vampires? Zombies? Everybody knows they have ulterior motives too.
Are these cops serious?! Fuck them! Unless the convention asks for an individual to leave, that person is within their legal rights to be there and do as they wish.
An officer of the law cannot freely choose to make his presence known, by creating a scene. Their job is to protect the citizens, unless a complaint is brought to them, they are to STFU. Otherwise it becomes a 'police state'.
That said, pedophiles do not go around dressed as bears. That would make a spectacle of them, the opposite of what they want. And they meet children online, at arcades and playgrounds. Not at a convention, with a half-million attendees.
Good going, Private Dick.
I PROPOSE we take the image of pedobear paint him a different shade of brown and call him HetroBear Then once it catches on the interwebs the cops wont know WTF to think! -Wiggly stick
We need a crowd of people dressed as pedobear outside their police station, all offering candy to small children. Possibly all with small children. Y'know, for the lulz.
Bears man.
They either stealing your picnic baskets or molesting your kids.
lol Next they'll have "An introduction to otaku."
I've heard tell that this was a joke.
what the hell? O_O
once you dress a bear for a children's party. you are already considered a pedobear.
Whoever was in that pedobear costume must feel like a fucking rock star right now.
(/_-)
Oh my fuck this is so awesome I saw that guy at con and got a pic of him chasing my sister RAD+
I think I can no longer consider that my favorite city anymore. DAMN YOU SLO!
This is horrible! What will I do with all my candy now!?
really? that is SO stupid!!!
Recently FOX23 in Oklahoma "borrowed" this story and turned it into a fear mongering piece.
Once again California can't see that people dress up as pedobear as a joke. Way to go there Cali. You're IQ is amazing. (Note: heavy sarcasm).
Read the first words of the "internet meme" paragraph.
>a image
Obvious troll post is obvious
ROFLS.
This is a joke, right? What kind of dumbass would pray on children in public dressed as a notorious internet pedophile?
It's called a DOUBLE BLUFF.
