Michael R. Barrick created a graphic last summer using the Vancouver Olympics mascots and the internet cartoon character Pedobear. The image shows up in a Google image search for the mascots, so it was only a matter of time before someone used it without knowing that Pedobear is not an Olympic mascot. The graphic showed up this weekend in the Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztyn. Link

This is probably why you should pursue your trademarks and corporate image at all costs. People just can’t tell a joke from reality.

It’s disturbing how well he fits in with the rest of those mascots.

There is something significant here. Pedobear is fitting as a symbol of what the Olympics does to its hosts.

Ah. So I guessed right. Cheers.

Actually Pedobear was not always percieved as such. He started out perfectly innocent. But as the internet has a certain power that is no longer the case.

I was never clear on why someone would have invented such a concept. Not sure why people find molestation funny.
