[url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1336035/Facebook-cartoon-character-campaign-NSPCC-charity-says.html?ITO=1490[/url] [quote]A Facebook campaign which purports to fight child abuse by asking users to change their profile picture to that of their favourite cartoon character has run into controversy. The campaign, which urges the image swap has swept through the social networking site and boasts a group page which has nearly 90,000 fans. Its message reads: ‘Change your FB picture to a cartoon from your childhood. The goal is not to see a human face on FB until Monday (Dec 6th) Join the fight against child abuse & copy and paste to your status! The Facebook campaign urges users to change their profile picture to that of favourite cartoon character in a bid to fight child abuse... although there have been rumours that paedophiles are behind the cause However, the unofficial campaign remains just that – as no one has come forward to claim responsibility for it. What’s more, rumours are now sweeping the net claiming the campaign is actually a smokescreen for paedophiles hoping to identify young children. One Facebooker asked: ‘How is this gonna help stop child abuse? Sounds like something a paedophile would do!’ More... Could your Facebook profile lead to higher insurance premium? Insurers snooping on online activity to calculate costs Another user posted the following warning: ‘The paedophiles have it easy finding the kids this way from a cartoon in your past! Obviously if someone posts Spongebob Square Pants it’s probably a kid, now Betty Boop an adult!’ While some websites are claiming the British charity NSPCC is behind the cause, the charity has denied any involvement. Indeed it posted the following statement on its Twitter page: ‘Although the NSPCC did not originate the childhood cartoon Facebook campaign, we welcome the attention it has brought to the work we do.’ Blogger Shayne House said: ‘Changing your profile picture does not really support the NSPCC unless it inspires or encourages you or someone else to volunteer or donate, which hopefully it will. Did it inspire you? It inspired me to write about it and make a donation.’ As the mystery continues to swirl – indeed National Child Abuse Prevention Month isn’t until April - the enormous scale of influence the campaign is having is being noted across the world. According to the LA Times, nearly every of the 20 most actively searched terms on Google were to do with ‘old cartoons’ on Saturday morning. Facebook has a history of turning causes viral, most recently one which claimed to raise the profile of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by encouraging users to make cryptic, suggestive status updates. The ‘I like it on the floor’ update raised eyebrows across the social networking website – largely due its flirty connotations. The phrase, which also sees users substitute the word ‘floor’ for kitchen table, stairs, couch or any location of their choosing, appeared to be an unofficial attempt to raise awareness of the disease. Of course the mystery lay in what ‘it’ could possibly be. Fortunately, it was nothing smutty at all – rather it referred to where women like to leave their handbags – and the game seemed to be an attempt to unite women for a cause while keeping men guessing. While breast cancer charities were quick to point out they were in no way affiliated with the campaign, they were keen to support the campaign and its underlying message. And indeed thanks to the power of Facebook, the phrase became one of the top searched internet phrases of the moment.

That's ridiculously stupid.
What a load of fucking bullshit. I heard this the other day, it is like most peado rumours on facebook (Apparently all "new born baby" groups are run by peados, yet none existed before the rumour started) complete and utter bullshit. By the way for the people who are not aware, the daily mail is the worst news paper in the UK. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTu7GLfrmUI[/url] Seriously, everything in this video has actually been claimed by this newspaper.
"A PROFILE PICTURE OF A BELOVED CHILDRENS CARTOON, THEY MUST BE UNDERAGE ,LETS GO MOLEST THEM" I don't see how this would assist pedophiles in their antics
[quote]although there have been [b]rumours[/b] that paedophiles are behind the cause[/quote] the whole thing is pretty dumb either way.
Please stop using the Dail Mail already...
Changing your display pic will stop pedophiles touching kids?? That's like me flushing the toilet in hopes my microwave will cook faster.
HA take that that dude who made a thread about it and wanted us to do it! HA!

Sounds like one person said something like that in a comment and they wrote this whole thing about it. [quote]Another user posted the following warning: ‘The paedophiles have it easy finding the kids this way from a cartoon in your past!

Aw what the Hell. Daily cheats me, and now Facebook cheats me also. What's happening to me?!
Brilliant. Now time to find some sponge bob profiles! :q:

Pedophiles beware, I know who you are.
Oh god, more retarded pedophile conspiracy's . This is ridiculous.
I doubt pedophiles are going to utilize Skeletor. At all.
On my Facebook page half of my friends have cartoon profile pictures while the other half have Pokemon profile pictures...
Like I've been saying to every fucking retard that actually takes this seriously: so what it raises awareness because most everyone knows it's to raise awareness, pedophiles could always do that, ALWAYS no matter WHAT. Don't just go by what the news says, they ALWAYS try to scare people. [editline]5th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Griml3xx;26519889]Changing your display pic will stop pedophiles touching kids??

It raises awareness simply because it is KNOWN to raise awareness.
my friend avatar is pedobear.

I refuse to believe this rumour until a [i]real[/i] source is posted, not the Daily Mail. Regardless, this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. It was probably just some guy, sat at home bored on a Saturday and thinking "hm. I wonder how quickly I can start and spread a viral event through Facebook". From the very start I tried telling people on Facebook "hey, the NSPCC has nothing to do with this ya know" and I got shot down as being some heartless bastard who doesn't care about children. The whole thing is pointless - yeah sure it raises awareness and all that (not that "awareness" is gonna stop some enraged alcoholic from smacking his kid), but of all of my hundreds upon hundreds of friends who have changed their profile pictures, not one of them has donated anything to the NSPCC. Well, needless to say I had this as my profile picture for a day: [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs750.snc4/65018_10150098100943554_578018553_7210685_786740_n.jpg[/img]
Good thing I didn't waste my time changing my picture to a cartoon. Because changing your profile picture to a cartoon is going to stop child abuse and stuff... Is anyone really [I]for[/I] child abuse? It's dumb.
I did the cartoon profile picture thing, but only to show my support. No shit it isn't gonna stop anything but it's nice to show your support for it.
I only changed mine for the nostalgia, even if it was raising awareness or being used for paedo bait. Besides, I like having Johnny Bravo as my picture.

I mainly changed my avatar because Norbert Beaver is awesome. What's up with the other Pokemon trend going?
News section should have it's own rating. The agnostic, or probably rating. \:v:/
This wont stop me.
So because I have a space marine picture pedophiles will fap like crazy? I hope they do, Space Marines are sexy.
This is plain stupid. I think its nice to change it to a cartoon character, makes me able to see what people liked when they were small, and what makes them nostalgia
i warned you about pedophiles bro [editline]6th December 2010[/editline] im gonna go post this on facebook for all my friends that changed their profile picture :v:
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26522038]Some people are like "it isn't a real problem" soo...[/QUOTE] such people are most likely legitimately retarded plus I seriously doubt anyone who doesn't consider it a real problem is going to have their minds changed by a facebook fad
