Pedobear wonders...

...just how freakin' stupid can you get?

The New Mexico Attorney General's Office cautioned parents against an Internet image they said is really a sexual menace called the "pedobear." It started out as a joke, but authorities said the bear has spiraled into something much darker and more evil than they could've imagined.

Southard said authorities have seen several cars in Albuquerque and southern New Mexico sporting large pedobear stickers. She said that other than getting the word out, there's not much the AGO can do.

It's not illegal to have a pedobear image in public, but that didn't stop members of the community from voicing their opinions.

"It's insane because you end up questioning everything, especially when you have children," said parent Chris Lopez.

"It's very scary, it's a very scary situation that's been brought to our attention that these vehicles are circulating around New Mexico," Southard said.

Authorities said some people may be sporting the pedobear symbols as a joke, but they said that doesn't make law enforcement take the images any less seriously.

Well, we don't pay civil servants for their intelligence. Obviously.

One of these days some mouth-breather will put together the clues and figure out what my Flying Spaghetti Monster (PBUH) sticker means, at which point I'll be tailed by the local cops, the Moral Majority, the Concerned Christian Mothers, the SPCA, and probably the Boy Scouts. As every good citizen knows, we Pastafarians are conniving and nefarious beings, not to be trusted around children, pets, dry goods, shiny objects, and large quantities of marinara.
