People annoy me
So on facebook this week everyone is changing their profile pics to be cartoon characters to raise awareness about child abuse.
At first I thought it was relatively lame, but rather than bring everyone down with negativity, I just chose to not participate.
TONS of people have been all negative nellie about it though, talking about how stupid it was. Really people? Why can't you let those who changed it enjoy it? Get over yourselves.
Some remind me of those too cool for school hipsters with their disdain.
And then someone I know who works in child services said that they had triple the number of inquiries about volunteerism.
And then one of the too cool for school hipsters said THEY donated cash because THEY were going to do something bigger than changing their profile pic.
I had no choice but to them point out that they would have not donated that cash had it not been for this campaign, and ergo, it DID make a difference.
I am now sporting Josie and the Pussycats as my profile pic.
Seriously people, if you're going to be too cool for school, then don't make an ass out of yourself by proving the other people's point.
AND THEN now some people are saying that this movement was started by pedophiles. Really? You really think that's true? Then I pity you.
Not sure which is worse, idiots or hipsters.... perhaps idiot hipsters?
Or maybe just the Baltimore Ravens. yeah that's it.

I chose not to participate, but that's just my rebellious side. I hate to be told what to do. I heard about the pedophile thing, too - There always needs to be wet blanket, huh?
It was fun seeing all the cartoon characters. You could see a persons age by what they picked, too. That was fun.
Glad to hear that there was greater awareness to the cause - that's great.
