It's a campaign to end violence against children. You are suppose to choose your favorite childhood cartoon character and make it your profile picture.

Not very effective, considering how much violence cartoons do to each other.

Yea I honestly don't really understand it. Instead of wasting your time changing you profile picture to a cartoon which will help in no way against violence towards children why don't you go out and actually do something...

Supporting a cause is easier than actually being part of a cause. I hate these stupid trendy things designed to make people feel good about themselves for doing absolutely nothing.

^ this is essentially why i'm not changing mine

"oooh! cartoon characters! let's stop abusing kids! I feel good about myself that I made people stop hurting children with my awesome spongebob pic!"

it just doesn't work like that

i'm not saying people shouldn't do it... it at least shows they care about the kids being abused... but hell it DOESN'T actually do anything

I don't think any normal/sane person doesn't care about children and their well-being, don't have to put up a cartoon pic on FB to show that. Donate money to organizations/foster a kid/mentoring, etc.

I already made a status about how stupid it is. I refuse to change it.

"Oh look, people on Facebook are changing their profile pictures to cartoon characters to support anti-child abuse groups. I think I'll stop hitting my kids now"

Yea, pretty sure that doesn't actually happen...

Did you know that the group asking everyone to change their profile picture to a cartoon character is actually a group of pedophiles? They are doing it because kids will accept their friend request faster if they see a cartoon picture. It has nothing to with supporting anti child violence laws. It was on TV and it's on tonight's news.

Really? Which news channel? None of the news channels here mentioned it. Nor did 60 minutes (as another post mentioned).

Yeah. It does about as much good as the trendy yellow bracelets and silly pink ribbons. Big deal. It's fun to see what others had as their cartoon picks. No harm done.

Whether that's true or not, that seems absurd. If kids accepted friend requests faster if they see a cartoon character, couldn't they just change their own pic into a cartoon character? Why does everyone else need to do it? One could also argue that pedophiles "love" kids so they don't want to see violence against them. :gotme
