Polish newspaper claims 'Pedobear' is 2010 Vancouver Olympic mascot







A Polish newspaper mistakenly identified "Pedobear", a notorious internet meme, as one of the mascots of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.



The Gazeta Olsztynska published an image showing the bear alongside genuine Olympic mascots Quatchi, Sumi, Miga and Mukmuk to illustrate a feature about the Games. It appears that the newspaper lifted the picture from Google Images, unaware that it had been created as a prank by Michael Barrick, a Canadian artist and graphic designer.

I wonder if he'll be overseeing the Ice Skating? They're pretty young over there aren't they? Haha! xD

That's what you get when you steal random images off the internet and don't pay attention to where you get them from.

Well, Japan does have a speed skating 14 year old girl. Now we know what she's trying to get away from.

That's the only time I'm ever quoting pedobear in my life.



The article itself is hilarious. I love it when foolish people get played by /b. The Oprah freakout was the funniest of them all though. I laughed a good minute after seeing that.

I saw this on reddit a few days ago. A commenter said tat the articles don't mention or refer to the picture at all... The article linked doesn't refer to any of the actual content of the paper.
