How many of you changed your pictures to cartoon characters and how exactly do you think it would help stop child abuse?
-
No and no idea. :D
-
Hmm... I guess it shows moral support (if that even adds up to something).
So if it attracts enough attention - someone will do something about it?
It could possibly work, in theory, I guess.
But no... I didn't do it.
-
I didn't do it and I think it would aid child abuse prevention in the same way that wearing a pink ribbon aids breast cancer prevention

Yeah... but you BUY a pink ribbon (say $2) and you wear it to show you support to attract other people to BUY a ribbon. More money for the foundation.
What the hell does this Facebook trend do?
-
True that.. I guess it's just the awareness that counts.
-
My friends are doing it, but I haven't..

It kinda trivialises the issue doesn't it? Yeah, chuck a cartoon character on my dp, great, that's child abuse taken care of, now let's move on to the next fad.

I was wondering what was happening

I didn't understand why this girl wearing a dress I would kill for (but which is out of stock on Asos) in her profile picture last week now has one of Alice in Wonderland.
-
ASOS is great - free shipping to Aus currently!

As much of a non-sequitur as boycotting hummus to solve the middle east problem:

WTF?
I meant that the idea that boycotting Israeli hummus with the aim of a peaceful Middle East in mind (wittily sent up by Chavi in his blog), was just as risible as the idea that the content of FB profiles could help in the fight against child abuse.

Raising awareness of things that everyone is aware of sure is useful.
I'm going to go out and raise awareness for rocks. I'll sell badges that say "Rocks exist."

There shouldn't be money involved, it should be changing your facebook picture to a spaceship, so that you can be seen to advocate the existence of rocks.
(makes no sense, does it?)
