I'm going to skull eff the next person who mentions this stupid crap on facebook or twitter.
It's a scam, morons.
-
I didn't even hear about it until today, I feel out of the loop.
-
it's a 30 minute video that is being passed around facebook and twitter. has millions of views. it's about a guy in uganda that is an awful dude and abducts kids and forces them to be his soldiers. this video is supposed to bring awareness to the cause (and to get your money) to help stop him.
The problem is that the guy hasn't been seen in 6 years and half of the video is stretching the truth. Also, the charitable group that made the video apparently only uses 31% of it's earnings towards its cause, the rest is to pay staff and make stupid ass videos.

With charities like #fatt4ksu giving 100% of donations to the cause you'd think it would be an easy decision for people on where to send their money.

I love how college girls can watch a 30 minute video and suddenly they're activists.

Kony is legitimately awful btw.

This is true. What most people are saying in opposition to that video is that invisible children is not a good place to send money for this issue...

Got it, just didn't want anyone thinking Kony is anything less than a crap human being who absolutely does deserve household name recognition.

this seems like a ringing endorsement based on how the previous sonic discussion went, no?

OK_Cat, write up an expose on this that we can put on the blog.

This is the "new" viral link to post, in response to the other viral links to the video. But it does do a good job sourcing it's info, explaining why IC is a bad charity, what is already being done to stop Kony, and what other charities you can donate to that aren't sketch

Also, these morons are favoring "military intervention", so they're donating to the Ugandan/Sudanese gov's... 2 of the most corrupt governments on the face of the earth are getting a crap ton of money, probably to sit on their asses and pocket it all. This charity is run by a bunch of dipshits...

Interesting read. IC's response, if you didn't make it all the way to the bottom, is here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisiblechildren.com/critiques.html I don't know what to think about how to capture this dickface guy but at some point somebody probably should. He is mean. :frown:
P.S. Donate to #fatty4ksu

OK_Cat, write up an expose on this that we can put on the blog.
All I have is the first sentence.
"When you think of pretentious d-bags who listen to modest mouse and drink jones soda, the d-bags of Invisible Children first come to mind, thanks to a 30-minute web of lies and dumbassery."
give me time and I might come up with a second sentence.
