What does a bear even have to do with computers? It makes no sense.

Nothing, the point is that the name of the company is CP.
I wouldn't be surprised if pedobear came up in google images when searching for CP.

The owner of the company is a convicted sex offender. :P

That's just coincidence though. He had no idea what pedobear is.

This actually makes a lot of sense. If the designer Googled around for images associated with CP, thinking it was shorthand for computer parts or computer products, then she may have found and used the Pedobear image without knowing the whole story. He does appear to be in a hurry to do something, so maybe she thought that looked good next to the company's delivery policy on the ad.
Major facepalm on part of the designer for not researching the image, but it is conceivable that she did it innocently enough.

I'm not. Just willing to give the benefit of the doubt, I guess.

Given the fact that CP is so large, though, it's a bit difficult to put it off to coincidence.

Protip: advertising of this caliber is often done by low wage, high pressure workforces of barely-educated people. The lazy Google Image Search is entirely likely.

Try searching Google images yourself. It doesn't pop up quickly.

They often use additional metadata like image size.
