Yeah right! Stupid nonsense, dumbass rumors!
According to the Daily Mail, which is about as reliable as Michael Lohan, rumors are spreading that pedophiles may be the ones behind the 'change your profile picture to your fave cartoon from your childhood to join the fight against child abuse' campaign bandwagon that many are jumping onto on Facebook.
Puh-lease! Though the campaign is fairly pointless and dumb and as far as I can see just serves to get people Googling old cartoons and reminiscing with each other about how much they used to dig She-Ra, I'm pretty sure that it's not a group of pervs behind it.
It does seem a little weird that no one will cop to creating the online pages, many of which do seem a bit sketchy, but I'm sure even if it turns out to be one of those fake ones that are cropping up all over FB it's all good. The only downside seems to be the crazy fighting on the walls of these pages - yikes! People commenting are getting out of control and they're hittin' below the belt - Keep it clean people! These aren't your parole officers you're fighting with!
Since it seems the only ones benefiting from the campaign is Google (they've been inundated with searches for 'old cartoon characters') I'm kind of thinking it was one of those super-genius geeks over there, trying to drive traffic to their site and/or mess with people at the anti-Google, arch-enemy Facebook!
If you must check out the page, this one is apparently the official one, but the wall is super R-Rated! You've been warned...it's filthier than my wall and that's saying a lot.
