Pedo bear (and friends) try to visit Canada

[trigjones]

For anyone travelling up there, my little story.

I've got the "pedo bear is watching you" sticker on my drivers side, on the rear window of my S13. My friend and I made reservations at a nice hotel in downtown Vancouver, planning on getting drunk and hanging out with some girls I know up there.

Border guard at 9pm asks us basic stuff, then wants to know about the bear sticker. Randomly selected for a search, including my phone and laptop. Dude searching us explains they've had problems with people with 240's or pedo bear stickers, or maybe both. I read something the San Diego PD put out saying parents should be on the look-out for the sticker, as actual pedos may be using it to communicate with each other.

My ASS! What kind of dude would actually advertise that, its a joke, obviously.

In any case, my friend had a 5 year old shoplifting charge, which got us denied access, even though the charge had been dropped, the Canadians could only see the arrest report. We got searched again by US security, and 3.5 hours later got to drive home.


My buddy had beem up multiple times prior without incident, so the only reason he will now have an issue is because of the GD bear sticker.

Meaning the only place you should see pedo bear would be online?

If Hitler had started out as an internet meme, then became an actual murderer, I could see why it would be in poor taste. If there was a guy in a bear costume that had touched a bunch of Girl Scouts, got a ton of media coverage, and gpt the nickname Pedo Bear, again, I could see the poor taste.

But I fall into the camp of 99% of topics are open for whatever. Jokes, serious discussion, etc. If this does anything, it should heighten awareness and hopefully remove some irrational fear about actual pedos.

well yeah. you said it yourself, it's an INTERNET MEME, so it's only funny ON THE INTERNET. you got pwned IRL because you ignored that fact, which is pretty hilarious to me.

also, you do understand that there was a pedobear controversy surrounding the 2010 vancouver olympics, right? they know what it stands for and regular people don't like it.

When the US security lady asked if there was anything in my car she wouldn't want to find, u replied "You mean something that Chris Hansen wouldn't approve of?". That seemed to make her smile, but she got really pissy after looking through everything. Maybe all the photos of me and my (of age) girlfriend.

[trigjones]

what?!?!?!

There are plenty of peeps that think anyone on the offender list should be gassed or put on an island in the middle of the ocean. There's people on that list that got busted while they were 17 for dating a girl 25 months younger, trumped up charges by pissed off mothers, sexting pictures, all sorts of sh*t that shouldn't apply.

I've worked in social services with dudes that committed murder that were polite, nice and just trying to get back to normal, sometimes people just fuck up. There's a bunch of people on that list that deserve to be there, but all the mini-van moms giving me dirty looks cause I'm in the grocery store shopping for myself, that's retarded.

Ya, I read the stuff about the Danish newspaper and the misprint of the mascot. I'll get rid of it the next time I head that way.

I've also heard you should never say you're going up there to see a girl, apparently Canadians don't like us 'Mericans stealing your womens.

pedo bear irl. not cool.

masterbating bear does not approve.

[BoostSlideWayz]

There was a post on here not to long ago talking about this same thing exactly and about how authorities are considering that a sign of some history of being some sort of pedo.... It was funny for awhile but now soo many people are representing pedo bear its just becoming an old faze.

You see the South Park episode where the kids free the killer whale and fly him to the moon? "It's still funny".

[ronmcdon]

are there any immigration policies in canada that restrict ppl coming in with 240s or pedobear stickers?

canucks are a bit strange imo, but its a stretch to reject us citizens coming in on that count alone.

Personally im ambivelent about pedobear.
its not the first crass internet thing, and it wont be the last.
its one thing to find something ethically objectionable, but its a totally diff level to implement it into law

interesting scenario.

[JDMS13Louie]

This is stupid, the whole pedobear thing is just a Internet joke and shouldn't be taken seriously. Sure, it does stand for something inappropriate but shit have a sense of humor.

Pedo bear was a japanese campaign for child predator awareness and the internet just turned it upside down, wasn't it?

I always heard that PedoBear was originally designed as a mascot to encourage running and other activities to promote good health amongst youth in Japan... But due to linguistic and cultural misunderstandings, he was mistakenly named 'Pedo' (which means having to do with children) instead 'Podi' (which means having to do with FEET)...

Basically, its a case of bad Engrish, turned internet meme, turned rediculous media hysteria. Anyways... thats always what I heard.

Oddly enough, I spotted a slammed IS350 rolling hellaflush through my apt complex a few weeks ago with a Pedo-Bear sticker in his rear window. My girlfriend and I died from the lolz...

[S-Nation S13]

blah..blah...blah..pedo bear this pedo bear that...shits old people, get over it.

Good point. Things funny on the internet tend to be lame outside of it. Anyways, this was posted before...
