Internet Meme Come To Life Terrifies Tulsa

Pedobear, the popular 4chan joke gone viral, is back in the news, and residents of Oklahoma should consider themselves warned of the dangers. (Gawker points out the major flaw in this report: the supposed “registered sex offender” in the bear suit wasn’t actually a registered sex offender at all.) It’s all very sad, and like so much else, was anticipated by satirist Chris Morris nearly a decade ago. It’s good that we’ve all grown since then.
