Kony 2012

[chawx]

Well, I bought the 30$ kit and I vow to support them in "cover the night" on 4/20/12 even after reading the accusations and claims of them not doing enough...you're going to always have people acting like you're not doing enough, or you're doing too much, or whatever... But even if it's not Uganda specifically—these people and children need help and protection.

Too often there are tragedies in Africa that go unnoticed because there is no oil to gain or no financial/political advantage to gain by helping those areas, so if this one time, people are listening and are helping...then I can feel happy about helping that cause.

Worst-case scenario, I just paid $30 to help educate maybe 10% or so of the people in America who watched that video (about 3 million people or so?) where Uganda is on a map of Africa...

The first several responses to this topic as well as all of support on social media just shows how easily brainwashed and manipulated people are. Some or many of you probably watched this video, believed it, then found out it was bs. I watched it and at the same time, knew it was propaganda bs. Let the Uganda girl tell you for herself:

And from what's I've read online, it seems like all of the facebook kids are now social activist and Kony experts because they watched some biased video put together by white liberals to push their stupid agenda. There's enough problems in America, who cares about some third world country?

Now if you want something on the lighter side

I think you always have to take current events with a grain of Salt. CNN's favorite Syria play-by-play guy 'Syrian British Danny' just got caught staging gun shots in videos to make it seem like he was really in the middle of the action. There were battles that the media was saying last year were taking place in Libya that they were showing videos of that were really just staged movies made at sets in Qatar. They just do whatever they need to do to fit their narratives.

Jason Russell, the filmmaker behind the mega-viral "Kony 2012" documentary, was arrested in San Diego on Thursday night, NBC reported, citing the San Diego Police Department. Russell, 33, "was taken into custody after he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something," NBC's San Diego affiliate reported, citing San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown.

The San Diego Police Department's Brown did not immediately return two messages left Friday from Yahoo News.

The co-founder of the San Diego-based advocacy group Invisible Children was detained on San Diego's Pacific Beach "acting very strange" the NBC report said.

Russell's 30-minute documentary on Ugandan guerrilla leader Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army became a surprise mega viral hit, receiving over 80 million viewers since its release last week. But the film has also kicked up a backlash of criticism against the group, ranging from how Invisible Children spends its finances to whether it cut corners with the facts in order to create a more compelling film about a more than two-decade old Central African conflict.

But Invisible Children has also found many prominent defenders of its work, from members of Congress to President Barack Obama, who sent 100 U.S. special forces to Uganda last fall to search for Kony.

"I think that these guys are getting mercilessly picked apart by a bunch of intellectual elites who spend their days tweeting but never trending," Cameron Hudson, former Bush White House Africa hand, told Yahoo News last week. "If their aim is to raise awareness, they have done that in spades."
