Anonymous Pulls “Pedophile” Prank On Oprah
For those unfamiliar with the 4Chan community, these guys have been responsible for a great deal of mischief on the internet. They’ve been said to have launched hack attacks on websites both in and out of urban media and have even taken on the Church of Scientology.
The latest stunt from 4Chan was posting a bogus message on Oprah Winfrey’s website claiming to be a member of a secret pedophile group called “Pedobear”. The post claimed that there were “9000 penises” ready to commit acts against children. Oprah responded with a YouTube video (see it here) calling awareness to the fictitious group. “Pedobear” is actually the name of a toy in a popular Japanese anime called, “Kodomo No Jikan”. A story about a school teacher who is constantly approached by an underaged girl. There’s no word on if Oprah’s people are aware of the trick and no statement has been released yet.
