Pedobear - Leaving the Limelight?




For those of you not entirely tuned into the wonderful world of the WeirdWideWeb, you may not be familiar with one of the longest running internet memes. Steeped in mystery Pedobear has sustained a long and "fruitful" existence, through his positioning between the cute and the obscene. He is not only a valued member of internet subculture, but is also a key benefactor in the creation of the tapestry of lulz.

The following FOX News report not only shocked me in relation to its content, but also in how it managed to tarnish the long respected Pedobear name.



This clip not only marks an inherent social problem, but also depicts the beginning of a meme's fall from grace. With representations such as these, I don't think it will be long until this meme is finally going to have to act out one of his most famous images and start to tenderfoot his way out of the internet limelight and back towards his home in the Pedohills of Japan.
