How To Troll Online Slacktivists

The Facebook cartoon profile picture fad did more to raise awareness of how prevalent slacktivism is than it did to prevent child abuse. It seems like if a meme makes people feel good about themselves, without actually having to do anything of substance, it will spread.

Why anyone would think that an empty gesture like changing your profile picture could do anything meaningful about a serious issue like child abuse is mind boggling, but thankfully there is no shortage of trolls on the Internet to make fun of this. Here are 5 of the best trolling attempts on this absurd fad:

1. Little Bros

2. 1337 Javascript Hax

Pop this into your address bar to make your own:
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0

3. Ahh! Pedophiles!

People actually fell for this.

4. Obligatory Family Guy Reference
