Cartoon Scandal

There are a bunch of Facebook games. I'm not talking about the ones like Farmville or Family Feud. I'm talking about the ones that you make as your statuses or do in notes. From "Why Wassup" to "30 things" there are a gazillion of the out there. On November 16th Facebook users all over the U.S. started changing profile picture to memerable cartoon characters. A popular trend tracking website called Know Your Meme stated the craze started with users Greece and Cyprus.

This whole idea was to raise awarness of child abuse. But some how word got around that the campaign was crafted by pedophiles hoping to add innocent children as friends without them knowing. Spokesperson Simon Axten from Facebook says the whole accusation is false.
