Apparently kids are only important for a few days
Facebook trends are like the weather in the Midwest. Some people like it, others hate it, most think its better somewhere else but everyone still stays…. And of course it changes in a moments notice.
Take the recent post a cartoon as your profile picture trend that supposedly was in support of anti-violence against kids. I never saw anyone ask for money or to do anything, so I’m really not sure how a cartoon helped anyone. As a blind sheep I could have followed the trend, but I’m not blind—the sheep part is up for debate—and I somehow had no fear that people were going to assume that I was an advocate for violence against children. That logic would have made as much sense as me changing my profile picture to help stop it.
Fast forward 2 days and everyone’s profile picture seems to be back to something non-cartoony. So what happened to the kids? Do we not care any more. Did you find a picture that was brighter and shinier than the cartoon you copy and pasted?
With as much logic as the trend started, it ended. If it ever had a larger purpose, I missed it, and they need to hire the Movember PR guy. At least know that someone’s raising money for cause with all that ugly facial hair.
