This Saturday I saw something peculiar on Facebook. It appeared all my friends were turning into cartoon characters..
In an effort to understand what was going on I consulted my go to for finding out about real-time trends, Twitter Search. Simply by searching 'cartoon' I already got a sense of what was going on.
It seemed Facebook users were changing their profile picture to a photo of a favorite childhood cartoon to raise awareness of child abuse.
While some Twitter users believed this to be affiliated with NSPCC, the organization has not yet confirmed its involvement. This has lead some Facebook users to be skeptical of the campaign's effectiveness.
Regardless, the Childhood Cartoon Faces campaign is quickly catching on. What do you think about it? Will you be changing your profile picture to a favourite cartoon?
