Save Yourself for Marriage, With Help From Purity Bear Pedobear meets his match with low-budget spot

Here's a little trifle for a Friday afternoon—a low-budget commercial advocating teen abstinence starring "Purity Bear," a creepy little stuffed animal who appears on your shoulder whenever you're considering throwing your life away by copulating with your high-school date. A good grudge match would be Purity Bear vs. Pedobear, the cartoon bear known around the Internet as shorthand for pedophiles, perverts, child molesters, child-porn aficionados, and the like. (Pedobear, you will recall, popped up weirdly in that Florida computer-repair coupon early last year.) The ad sends the viewer to DayOfPurity.com, which offers "those who strive for sexual purity an opportunity to stand together in opposition to a culture of moral decline." Via Jezebel and Works That Matters.
