Being hunted down at various conventions by a Pedobear might come across as a typical outing for both girls and boys alike. Well actually, young girls and boys especially. I remember vaguely mistaking Pedobear as Kuma from the long running anime/manga One Piece. Until one fateful day I posted the picture and was told I was a little old for Pedobear’s liking. Being in my early 20’s at the time, I’d think to myself, “Hey! I’m not THAT old right?” And really, I was, because that bear was not Kuma, it was PEDOBEAR!

So I did a little research on this cute internet meme. Pedobear actually surfaced and was created in internet web photoshopping of pictures of young boys and girls, being chased by this cute character. Threads on 4chan where he was seen took flight to Pedobear’s persona, the Pedophile bear. Quite a disturbing but hilarious take on something so wrong. Usually Pedobear’s images pop up when people are being creepy about a child by making adverse comments about them in threads. So with that said, I recently received in the mail much to my delight an awesome PEDOBEAR hat! *^___^* Besides being insanely cute, this hat is really soft and well made! I took some pictures of it on.

This Pedobear hat is made by the sweet folks of Catch Kuma, a new company which takes internet memes and produces awesomeness out of them, like this hat! Yay, now I can chase the young boys at the conventions! :D
