I'm not sure what to explain. A news station took a meme, and thinks it is dead serious.

Wh... bu... I mean...

God, I can't stop laughing. I mean, just...

No, I can't think of any real way to respond to that. This has made my day.

I should be disappointed, or angry, or something, but I'm just too busy laughing.

I'd say that anyone that legitimately thought the people that made that news segment should be shot are far worse than the people that made the report. That's fucking ridiculous, dude, hyperbole or not.

It's just silly, uninformed people "informing" other uninformed people with uninformed news.

If people were shot for that every time, we'd be damn near out of people.

Not to mention this is FAAAAAAAAAAR from the first time this has happened to Pedobear...

So you're saying pedophiles have nothing to do with this pedobear?
Pretty much. If you were an actual pedophile, the last thing you would do is advertise it using pedobear.

Also, this. It's fucking funny. Not rage-inducing.

Not directly they don't. It's an internet joke. I've actually seen it used to make fun of pedophiles far more than I've seen pedophiles use it.

(EDIT: To clarify something that I just realized may have sounded a bit creepy, I've never seen pedophiles use it.)

That is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen...

If that is how pedophiles are ID'ing each other, then the internet is full of pedophiles...

"If you do see a pedobear image, use caution", now that's news gold!

Oh lord, This calls for a Brass Eye clip!


(Brass Eye is an old British satirical news programme making fun of this type of crap)

Compare what the woman says in your video 1:09, with the Brass Eye clip in 1:54. It's so ridiculously similar it makes me wince.

Let's hope they don't hear about this guy:


EDIT: Fixed broken link

o_O Actual pedophiles are hiding behind pedobear? That seems kinda stupid to me. I mean why don't they just get T-shirts that say "I'm a pedophile." on them.

They're not. Which is why this whole thing is dumb.

"Pedobear" is a 4chan meme that came from an older 2chan meme which originally had nothing to do with pedophiles.

The whole point of the meme is that Pedobear is a pedo. He shows up in imagery basically to decry that image as inherently perverse or pedo. That's it. That's whole entire joke.

And that's really all it is, a joke.

So you're saying pedophiles have nothing to do with this pedobear?
Nothing whatsoever. Modern pedophiles (as opposed to, say, ancient Greek pedophiles, better known as 'ancient Greeks') do not, generally speaking, use imagery that is labeled in such a way as to reveal their proclivities.

To put this into perspective;
It would be pretty much exactly the same as if communist sympathizers in America at the height of McCarthyism all decorated their clothing with pins of 'Commie Koala', a grinning Koala with a huge hammer and sickle in his hands.

The only thing it would do would be to let their own hunters know exactly who they should be looking for.

I remember this newscast, it was resoundingly mocked on the internet and then immediately forgotten as YET ANOTHER time the televised news media attempted to garner a tiny scrap of viewership with a LOUD (sensationalist) FEVERISH REPORT ON (a very slow news day) YOUR CHILDREN AT RISK.
