There's a Facebook page to get people to change their Profile Pic until at least December 6 to something related to a cartoon you watched when you were a kid. It's for the NSPCC.

Read the page for more info.

Have you changed yours yet? If you have make sure you invite friends. The general goal is for everyone on Facebook to change their picture to a cartoon character for a few days.

I've heard all about it and I don't think it accomplishes a whole lot. Beyond changing your profile pic what has anyone actually done? Seems like so many other pointless things people do on facebook.

This is my current status.... which makes fun of a lot of other statuses:

"WARNING!! PLEASE READ. If someone comes to your front door and asks you to remove your clothes and dance with your arms in the air. DO NOT do this. It is a scam. They just want to see you naked. Please copy and paste this to your status. I wish I had received this yesterday. I feel so stupid now..."

People are silly. This is about as "real" as e-mail chain letters.

I changed mine to a Miltank, because everybody else was changing theirs to Pokemon, so I figured I would too. I'm not trying to be a follower or anything, but everybody thought they had awesome picks... So I got one just that much weirder.

I think in a lot of the cases with people I know, some people start it with the knowledge of why. People they know think it's just another Facebook trend for a few days. It reaches a point where it's really just for fun, but the original reason for it is still there. People who know about it can also tell others why it's going on and that does help spread the word. The reasoning behind it also spreads if you set it as your status when you post the picture.

It's another thing to grab attention on Facebook, but this one has a purpose behind it. That's why I posted it.

The Pokemon thing was last year. Some people are using Pokemon for this. That may be why it looks like it's resurfacing. Or maybe one person used a Pokemon and their friends all thought it was the Pokemon thing again. Who knows really?

BNuge : Some of my friends were doing the Pokemon thing again.

As for the entire thing... yeah, simply changing your profile pic and status doesn't do a whole lot other than get people thinking, but at least that's something. And besides, it's fun to see some of people's favorite kid cartoons. I've used Scooby-Doo and Kids Next Door, I've seen Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Batman Beyond, even the Jetsons. It's pretty cool and it still does raise awareness.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The Great bignatealpha is about to speak!

geeogree : That seems like a bit of an overreaction. It's also a bit too vague to be real. Ex. "It will apparently be on tv... some time tonight."

Maybe changing your picture doesn't help directly, but if it originated from an idea to help, then it could be used to show how many people care enough to spend a few minutes to promote awareness. Even most of the people who didn't realize what was going on still asked about it and didn't change it back once they found out.

well, I just did a bit of looking around about that and as far as I can tell someone hijacked this cartoon profile pic thing.... I was a bit confused about how the cartoon pictures would help pedophiles.... but I figured I would post it anyway to see if anyone else had heard anything...

turns out it's not true... or people have the same misgivings about it that I did.

**People can keep discussing this, but it actually officially ended on December 6.**

I'm probably going to keep mine up anyway just because I like it. Mods can close this if you want, but some people might still want to talk about it. You could leave this open for that reason if you want.

I heard about this, and I also heard some retarded story about pedos making it up? Is that just some stupid rumor or is it true? (I personally think it was a joke made up by someone)

I heard about the suspicions from a good friend so I decided to look into it myself. I looked around and I couldn't find it on any of my local news stations or on ABC News or CBS News online. MSNBC had this report online:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40539379/ns/local_news-hagerstown_md/

This Fox News report (online) had a lot more information:

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/06/viral-facebook-campaign-work-pedophile-masterminds/

The Fox report referenced this Tweet from the NSPCC.

Those are the updates I've found so far. I'll edit this or leave a new post if I find anything else.

I'm getting annoyed. =_= I really hate it.

You are not a Pikachu. You are not a Transformer. You are not Cowboy Bebop. You are not Sonic. Seriously. A facebook profile picture should be YOU, not something so stupid as a cartoon character. It's kinda lame to be honest.

Yeah.... I can agree that face book is better off having pictures of YOU and not something else. Leave that stuff to myspace. As requested by BNuge this thread is closed.
If you see this message, send a PM or IM to let me know for a prize!

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
