I'm not buying into

The whole Facebook trend thing of changing profile pictures for pics of cartoons. I just don't see how it has any point.

One issue it has however thrown up is that Ariel from the Little Mermaid is actually a bit of a babe...

You know what it's for right?

But I didn't bother either

I know what it's for yeah but me putting a picture of CatDog as my profile pic is not gonna stop some kid getting pounded by his drunken stepdad...

I agree. I told a friend it was pointless, and someone commented that it was meant to "make people stop and think".

Pointless, utterly pointless.

People are now claiming it's all been set up by paedophiles so they can go around adding children.

If some paedo thinks I'm a child he's gonna get a surprise

children should be beaten twice daily whether they did something wrong or not.

This. It's only when these asshats like the NSPCC got involved that the country started going to shit...

Go back to a time when children never dared even look at an adult through fear of not being able to sit down comfortably for a couple of days and the streets were a much better place.

It's the same thing as those petitions that go around on facebook saying join this group and you're helping to stop some form of abuse just by joining. So me joining a group of facebook stops something?

It's utter bull for everything, nothing productive or remotely helpful happens on facebook.

You're missing the point, it's so you can show all your friends how much of an awesome and upstanding human being you are, of course you could do something worthwhile like raise some money, but doing a quick search on google images is a lot less hassle....

and yes,embarrassingly I am currently The Brain from Pinky and The Brain...

Meh. I didn't do it to save a kids life, in fact, I didn't realise that was why it started, I just thought they wanted everyones picture to be of a cartoon.

Plus, Count Duckula rocked! Even a hot girl mentioned it on my wall 8)

Yeah, it's such balls. Awareness campaigns seem to be ways for people to feel good about mentioning their "concern" about something without actually doing anything about it.

Facebook status of a social worker friend:

Do you know what would stop violence against children? Me either, but I'll hazard a bet that changing your facebook picture is rating at the bottom of the list.
