Comments on: Vancouver artist’s ‘Pedobear’ brands the Winter Olympics http://theashcan.com/2010/02/09/vancouver-artists-pedobear-brands-the-winter-olympics/ Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:53:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jef http://theashcan.com/2010/02/09/vancouver-artists-pedobear-brands-the-winter-olympics/comment-page-1/#comment-549 Jef Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:13:51 +0000 http://theashcan.com/?p=2754#comment-549 Eh, sloppy journalism about sloppy journalism! I've edited the first paragraph, which originally had it that Barrick invented Pedobear -- more correctly, he's the artist behind the image in question, not the bear in general.

I only now wish I had the forsight to ask about the UNCANNY resemblance to pedobear, which I had not noticed until now. As a nerd aside, if he's a Canadian invention, why isn't he named "Paedobear"?
