[shiner]

Run for the hills!!!

So everyone that uses the pedobear seal of approval is a pedophile now? There are a lot of pedophiles on ATOT.

Photoshop fail.

 

[lupi]

um, isn't that like pwning yourself with that release?

 

[spidey07]

lolwut? Just what are you trying to communicate cogman?

According to the release, the image is used as a way for pedophiles to communicate with each other.

 

[spidey07]

Ahahahah! The comments are even funnier. A lot of parents are actually buying it.

What the police are trying to tell you is, some pedophilea have adopted this symbol. It may have started out on the Internet, but is now being used by some pedophile to identify each other. Tpd just wants parents to be aware that this evolved into a "symbol" by some groups of pedophiles. And with the fair coming up, if someone in a costume is walking around in a bear costume with a "bag of free candy", don't run up
with your children to get their picture taken. And if child molesters start running around in Easter bunny outfits, we will send out something to the media to warn parents to be cautious.

This is getting beyond retarded. Are parents really this clueless?

It looks like this is swirling around law enforcement circles.

So, yes, cops are this stupid about this kind of stuff. Remember how clueless your D.A.R.E. (or local equivalent) officer was?

 

[HybridSquirrel]

omg i better change my wallpaper before the cops come find me.

 

[OCGuy]

Wow....

 

[911paramedic]

This warning is getting out of hand.

Don't you get the feeling that somebody started this (release/tip) as a joke and the law enforcement community just jumped on it? Seriously, how can they make reports like this without doing any research?

You would think more people posting on an online news site would know the true meaning behind pedobear.

With the morons in charge of our city government, and thus law enforcement, I can't say I'm surprised.

I don't think that's it. If you really think about it, how many people who aren't part of the "new web culture," and who have kids, would understand why any joking about CP, kidnapping, or molestation would be funny? I've never understood the pedobear thing, and I can see why plenty of parents and authorities with no web savvy would overreact.

 

[Schadenfroh]

I wonder how they would react if they came across the AT forum after everyone's avatar is switched to pedobear. Kinda like the wiki / FBI conflict.

 

[cKGunslinger]
