I always heard that PedoBear was originally designed as a mascot to encourage running and other activities to promote good health amongst youth in Japan... But due to linguistic and cultural misunderstandings, he was mistakenly named 'Pedo' (which means having to do with children) instead 'Podi' (which means having to do with FEET)...
Basically, its a case of bad Engrish, turned internet meme, turned rediculous media hysteria. Anyways... thats always what I heard.
Oddly enough, I spotted a slammed IS350 rolling hellaflush through my apt complex a few weeks ago with a Pedo-Bear sticker in his rear window. My girlfriend and I died from the lolz...
