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.

The world would be so much better if there weren't so many people willing to turn a non-issue into an issue - there isn't a problem until they create one.

Also, I would like to know who wrote the second paragraph on that second image. It's so self righteous and hilarious.

edit: Also, why can someone say "It's to protect the children!" and get away with anything?

This is absolutely the funniest thing I've seen all day. I want to put up those warning brochures everywhere. I can't believe they are serious. Wow.

I don't think its all that surprising that the police reacted this way. Considering how blatant NAMBLA is about their attraction to children, I'm shocked they don't have a mascot.

My friend has a Pedobear decal on the back window of his car.
He'll be pleased to hear this.

It's spread to Tulsa. Wow...and they get all their facts wrong. I love how they keep showing the clip of the guy in the costume holding the kid, thinking he is a sex offender when he isn't. They also don't have a problem with how equally creepy a guy in a Santa or Easter Bunny costume is...
