The Frivalous Facebook Meme

December 5, 2010 The Frivalous Facebook Meme

In case you haven’t already noticed, people all over the world have been changing their Facebook profile pics to cartoon characters from their youth to “raise awareness” for violence against children.

So the question is – How is this helping abused children? People participating in this meme aren’t doing a thing to raise awareness for actions their friends can take to support this cause, just merely pointing out the fact that children are being abused while letting everyone know they once had a thing for He-man or My Little Pony.

Here’s an idea: How about skipping the silliness and plugging an anti-child abuse charity instead?

Facebook charity memes are meaningless exercises in futility. People don’t need to be made aware that breast cancer exists or that child abuse is a problem. What they need are real things they can do to support individuals battling these scourges. Don’t be a douche.
