Our new mascot isn't Pedobear: Nestle Nestle has issued a statement to clarify that its new mascot isn't Pedobear — the Internet symbol of pedophile behaviour — after publishing an image that resembles the notorious cartoon.

My first thought wouldn't have been Pedobear, because it's a lot lighter and taller than Pedobear, but the idea of a spokesperson having to say this is going to make me laugh for days.
I actually knew a couple that were furries. They were adults (at least legally) and straight (guy and girl). Surely they were outliers.
At least this article got the point of Pedobear right, and didn't try to call it a mascot for pedophilia.
I have a pic of myself and (who I'm sure is) the same person in that bear coshtume from this year's PAXEast. My wife is very proud of me. True story. Cool, no?
