Agree. It's stupid. I'm convinced most people just do it to look cool and hip.

Reminds me of the time everyone changed their profile pic to cartoon characters to support the end of child abuse. Turns out the guy who started that was a child molester.

Facebook causes are stupid.

I wanted to be a dick and post something on Facebook about how changing your profile is the weakest form of support, and that if you cared about the issue blah blah blah... then one of my gay friends wrote a long post that got about 1k likes about how this was [expletive] stupid and if you cared about the issue blah blah blah and I thought, welp, not matching that.

Then I made a joke about everyone being really into red velvet cake.

Ding ding ding.

I was in my senior year at Wash U in 2004 when they hosted the presidential debates. I learned then that easily half of those with signs and demonstrations were just trying to look cool and/or impress others. Ever since then I can sniff out this kind of thing pretty quickly.

I changed my facebook profile pic to my son. Its his birthday today.

What does that mean?

I did it to show support to my family members and friends across the country. This means a lot to them. This isn't Kony2012 in which no one has a fingerprint on, this hits close to home for them and me...so [expletive] me, right?

[JackofDiamonds]

Dude, totally [expletive] you.

[TimeForGuinness]

Dude, totally [expletive] you.

Well, at least you're honest.

Did you do anything besides change your picture? Did you post something about why this means something to you, about why you were doing it?

What was pissing me off was people just clicking "set as profile picture" and then moving on to post asinine comments about their commute. If people took the 2 minutes to change their picture and post something, anything, about why they were doing it, they got a pass.
