Kony 2012 (watch this!)

beat me to it, I just came here to post this!

DJPimpFlex 03-06-2012 10:58 PM

Unbelievable. Shared.

collegekid 03-06-2012 11:55 PM

FUCK. I just put that in the off topic section, and i too dont know how to embed the video. Still, its 1 million times more important to share the video than it is to buy stuff like the kits and what not.

all show no go 03-07-2012 12:52 AM

That kit idea is so stupid. Why doesn't some hotshot celebrity, or the celebrities they supposedly already have supporting this cause just loan them all the money they need? Fuck, this unity thing, propaganda idea is so stupid.

Celebs have the money, let working Americans worry about making ends meet before they feel they should be donating to help the unfortunate.

What makes this Kony guy stand out from the hundreds of other crazed murderous leaders of guerrilla armies that are running around Africa?
Do they plan to make a video like this for every single one of them?

A YouTube and Facebook propaganda campaign.

Only if it gives some random film student an A so he can put it on his résumé and grow up to fetch coffee for Michael Bay.

Matej 03-07-2012 01:22 AM

What about impoverished people in South America?
And babies in China?
Genocide in Indonesia?
Global warming?

I feel I need some more time to shop around for a cause most deserving of my sympathy.

So far, Sarah McLachlan is clawing at my heart and wallet the hardest.

^ this is nothing more than a flash in the pan movement. give it 2, 3 weeks tops and you wont hear about it again. i guess death tolls and numbers dont matter. to get a reaction out of america, you need a youtube video and a bracelet kit.

tootall4la 03-07-2012 02:17 AM

As it states in the Video. It will fade

i can't deal with all the hype and the dubstep.

hipsters just need something new to focus on now that the occupy movement is dead.

also, 4/20? SERIOUSLY. fucking dumb date asshole.

nomoremk2 03-07-2012 07:20 AM

Wow some of the reactions to this video are a real bummer. Why is this not a good cause? Also, the kit is about awareness, not so much money. You can say hipster this dubstep that but the core issue here is what matters. No one should be getting away with child abduction on a large scale. They chose a target and are doing their best to take him down from another country. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

Because Invisible Children are misinforming people. Watching this is like watching your local news station..4 years ago. This has been going on for many years, the only reason it's getting big now is because of all the hype on the videos. More than likely, that money is going straight into their pockets. Besides, Kony is basically on his last leg. He was run out of Uganda, struggling for food, he's basically on his death bed.

But in the end I agree it's something people should be aware about. In fact it should have been known years ago. The cause is great, the execution.. not so much.

nomoremk2 03-07-2012 08:00 AM

I hope I'm not starting a war here but what exactly are they misinforming me of? Also credible sources of your information? I'm not on either side but if you're saying this film is bs I'd like to know why.

Grocery Cart 03-07-2012 08:08 AM

Three years ago they showed us a film at this church thing I went to from the same guys, and it was basically the exact same. I'm actually at school right now, so I couldn't show you anything I've read :P

I'm not saying the film is bs by any means. I think it's great what they're doing, and without them I think 90% of people wouldn't know about this. It's just that they're in a way living in the past. They're talking about how it was, and not how it is today.

And no war here, each is titled to their own opinion :wiggle:

Where is the damn like button when you need one. America doesn't want to help if it actually requires them to do something.

Think about this, look at all the crime in Detroit, we won't even do anything about abolishing that. Honestly we need to enforce Martial Law and take back that city.

One thing I've never, ever understood is the whole gang thing. Why the hell do people think they have to run around and cause so damn much mischief?

Kingbaby 03-07-2012 08:36 AM

free will? Greed? GET MONEY FCUK B!TCHES!

FORREALS -_- i been trying to figure out how to embed the video as well. I edited this post like 325982395 times trying to figure it out ahah

As for the movement, all I'm going to do is share this video and that's most likely it. HOW did I not notice the "4/20" date. -__- It's funny because I might actually do the poster thing but probably because on that night, i might find it really really really fun...:angel:

Doubt he's worth their price tag to the gov't

DS562 03-07-2012 01:41 PM

im sure some contractors are interested in the job. i wonder what the rate is on Kony, if anything.

HyperTek 03-07-2012 03:03 PM

I wonder if Kony knows how badass he is, got people in the big power USA knowing his name and buying his memorabilia. Probably living the dream like Scarface, Awesome!!

It is a good cause but I just don't agree with it.

im not donating to any money to an organization that pays their film maker over 80k (on paper)

This charitable organization, if you can call it that, has such a high administration cost. proving that all your money isnt going towards a cause. Its almost as bad as the world vision workers repping new Land Rovers over seas.

Long and short is if you want to help out. go to your local salvation army, soup kitchen, food bank or whatever and volunteer.

by buying these "kits" you're just making someone rich.

anton1o 03-07-2012 06:16 PM

Definetly going to be donating to such a company like invisibubble children..

This URL has alot of info about invisible children and what they are spending there donated money on..

CrazyIvan 03-07-2012 06:19 PM

What a bunch of bull... Seriously, if you care so much about another countries problem why aren't you helping our own neighbors like Mexico with the drug war?

We need to let other countries defend and deal with their own politics.

Has anyone informed these gullible dipshits that Mr. Kony has been in hiding and done jack shit since 2006? The video is old. Circa 2008.

Yes, theres still shit happening in Africa, as is there is shit happening here that the majority of you ignorant fucks do not have a clue about.

It is propaganda bullshit to get one thing....MONEY. Holy hell....crazy.
