Steve Jobs & Co. Kill Off App Starring Pedobear, The Plush Internet Outlaw

Apple today kicked Pedobear to the curb.

No longer will iPad and iPhone owners be able to download a free app featuring the creepy, yet cuddly, character demonstrating 11 basic hip-hop dance steps.

Though the app referred to the beaming little mammal as “Cuddle Bear,” he was actually Pedobear, the online meme associated with all manner of criminal perversions (usually involving children).

The “Cuddle Bear” app, which Apple approved in late-June, disappeared from the firm’s web site late this afternoon. The company’s move came after TSG this morning reported that Steve Jobs’s minions had somehow allowed the plush Internet outlaw to amble into the App Store.
