Facebook Fad of the Week: Cartoon Character Pictures
The latest fad to go viral on Facebook is replacing your profile pic with a cartoon character.
Apparently, it’s a part of the campaign to stop violence against children. One message posted on the social networking site today read:
“Change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday, Dec 6th of 2010, there should be no human faces on facebook, but an invasion of memories! This is for a campaign against violence on children.“
This is just one of several viral campaigns popping up on Facebook in recent months. A previous Facebook viral campaign to promote breast cancer awareness asked users to update their statuses with “I like it on…” messages.
This begs the question, which cartoon character will you revive on your profile?

IMPORTANT:the whole changing your profile picture to your favourite cartoon chatacter thing was actually created by a group of pedophiles, because if children see pictures of cartoons they will add them, it was currently on the programme Internet frauds and will apparently be on tv ……some time tonight, put this as your status to …warn people and change your profile pictures back, thankyou
