A Florida computer repair business just can't wait for March to end, after a coupon book advertised its services backed by one of the internet's most notorious meme mascots.
"Pedobear" has popped up in America's Favorite Coupon Book, spruiking the services of the computer parts retailer, CP Distributor.
The sinister bear is a favourite amongst users of forum site 4chan, where it is used to mock anyone associated with or requesting images of child pornography.
And if you're familiar with the forums at 4chan, you'll also recognise that other bit of unfortunate coincidentary, "CP".
If you're not, it's 4chan shorthand for "child porn".
It's hard not to miss "CP" bit in the America's Favorite Coupon Book ad, because it's mystifyingly blown up in a font twice as large as the rest of the business name.
So that's Pedobear and "CP" writ large - two strikes.
Hmm, perhaps not enough evidence to suggest the people at America's Favourite Coupon Book were guilty of anything other than not boning up on internet memes.
We didnt know anything about the bear or what it was when the coupon book was published, Robert plantains, part-owner of the business, told The Smoking Gun.
According to The Smoking Gun, plantains, 55, once spent seven years in jail for sexually assaulting a child.
Over the past few days, he's learnt all he needs to know about Pedobear, having been on the receiving end of numerous emails from subscribers querying CP Distributor's choice of mascot.
As for the publisher of the coupon book, they're blaming the "innocent" use of the image on a 40-something female designer who found the image while searching for clip art.
They could not, however, explain to The Smoking Gun why she was searching for an image of a bear when sourcing images for a computers parts retailer advertisement.
lol.

Searching images related to Computer Parts and bears, you can't get closer than that.

Erm...it's far more likely to NOT be a coincidence (as in, it was planned) due to how many things fall into place so perfectly. I'm not sure where the doubt comes from, it BEING a coincidence would be far more shocking.

At first, I thought this may be a hoax (I mean... its all too perfect). So far... it looks like it is true I can only say I feel sorry for this guy.
