So I decided to check out the video but stopped 5 seconds into it when I noticed it's freaking 30 minutes long. Do people really sit down and watch a 30 minute long appeal to emotion when all the essential info can probably be found on Wikipedia? I guess it's so incredibly well done you're glued to the screen if you give it like 1 minute.

So basically they profited from this viral campaign?

400 000$ to offices!

1.7 million to salaries!

YAY!

Where did the other 10 million go? Someone's bank account?

Bob needs less caffeine...but he's got a point about the Ugandan government and them torturing killing 7 million people over the past few years.

It's war propaganda imho. The film is old. Stefan Molyneaux nailed it in the video above also. (the one Fear Itself posted)

When I was doing my morning knowledge graze of the internet, I came across this:

I may be a little behind the power curve on this one. I saw in the other thread that some of the financial facts about this organization spending 69% of it's donations on itself was already out in the open. However, the full scope of this as a likely shill campaign for another agenda with so many layers doesn't even begin to come into focus by looking at the spending in a vacuum.

I muse about how it would be that all the kool-aid drinking viral campaign do-gooders out there could reconcile this in their conscience. This is a campaign that has a goal of the use of military force. What's more, it's in a country we didn't give a crap about until we figured out it had oil a couple of years ago. Weren't people supposed to be all against that kind of **** when GWB was president and talking about doing it in Iraq? Saddam Hussein had WMD's but Kony has child soldiers???? OMFG we must invade!

The cherry on top was the letter that Obama sent them about sending "military advisers" in. Vietnam, anyone? Anyone?

I think people are getting duped. Again.

Please, someone tell me, in light of the information in this video, how could the body politic that the viral campaign is aimed at possibly get behind it. It seems to me that they would be acting purely contrary to their principles which they have used to oppose so many other things in their lives.

Totally needed its own thread!

for the love of all that is holy plz lock?

well, merge at least

but delete my posts please when it happen. I don't want in on this bs

This guy is awesome IMO

my boss has a kony 2012 poster in his office now, shark has been jumped

No one heard of him until last week?

Never claimed that at all.

Alright, I will spell this out for you. The vast majority of people who watched that video learned about Kony for the first time. I am in that boat. If they are finding out who Kony is for the first time because of the video then they are very likely to not have good understanding of African politics. Most people are in the same boat that I am w/r/t their level of understanding of African politics. Ie they don't know dick. Then they foolishly jump to conclusions about a complex situation. Not sure what you have to disagree with.

DOJ,

MODS are in bed with the PetroMilitaryIndustrial Complex, obv.

People will sit down and watch 30 minutes about this, but won't take 30 minutes to learn about how ****ed up our country is? The sheep love that emotional **** apparently.

You guys figure out yet if this is just the youtube generations nigerian gold scam or if it's cointelpro? So far I think it's a toss up between the two.

fap fap fap....do a line......fap fap fap .......smoke a jay....fap fap fap...chew on some meth....fap fap fap.

all this drugs and whapping it talk is just a ploy by the power players to take atteention off of how epic this 30 min episode was....

wait I might have been talking about the TSA agent who was fap fap faping it in wendsdays season 16 premeire of south aprk

Maybe he ran out of the glue for his posters.

CNN's running with this story now, using TMZ as a source. With some effort, this guy can become the Lindsay Lohan of humanitarian NGOs. I'm looking forward to seeing his face on magazines in the supermarket checkout line on a regular basis.

Dude was arrested four blocks from my house. Lol kony 2012.

Are dick-slips a thing? Because I'm pretty sure you need some of those to even begin to approach Lindsay.

I'm anticipating the 30-minute documentary where he explains this little incident to his son.

Let he who hasn't been arrested for public masturbation cast the first stone.
