Some thing you should set aside 30 minutes for when you do have the time.

If you can watch Thor you can watch this.

These might need their own thread...

wtf is KONY?
shits all over the internet and i've been trippin balls all day

Interesting and well made film.

Funny watching all these celebs jump on the bandwagon on twitter when a week ago they had no clue who the fuck he was. I guess thats the plan though...hope they get him..but of course i have hoped they would get him for a while now...yes..

This is horrible and sad and terrible what is happening inside Uganda. Kony is a horrible mother fucker and he deserves to be gotted the fuck up. But there are neighborhoods in America in Detroit, Memphis, LA and cities across the nation with victims of our own civil rights abuses, our own nation's abduction of African kids, who still get abducted in ways essentially the same to do essentially the same thing by street gangsters. We do not need to get involved as a nation in this conflict. Intervention in foreign conflicts is morally wrong when we ignore our third world neighborhoods that we created by doing the exact same thing. Go to Memphis dude. I can find you an African 12 year old with a gat who speaks worse English than the kids in this film.

Interventionism is a slippery slope when America starts exporting our morals to the entire world. Do this shit through the UN. Let the international community police this shit. No more America FUCK YA! I oppose this premise in this video because this same mentality has been the justification of the 300,000 dead Iraqi civilians in the war on Iraq this film maker isn't talking about. Dead and mutilated by American cluster bombs and the regional conflicts directly resulting from our illegal invasion and destabilization. Kony? How about Bush or Obama. These motherfucks do the same thing and movies like this just perpetuate the myth that we are not occupying the streets of Muslim nations and on the war path with two others.

White guilt is a good thing, but not when it is used to push Africans around and ignore the ones we already enslaved and abandoned here in our own borders. This dude means well, he wants to help Uganda. Good for him, but supporting what eventually always leads to cultural imperialism is just as wrong in the end. This campaign is wrong.



We did this! WE DID THIS! WE DID THIS!!!!!! Over a war we admitted was trumped up and based on a lie, yet somehow we refuse to end!

This times 1000

(not from uganda and no one cared that his pic came from "ghetto myspace" which doesn't fit nicely into a hyperbolic dramatized monologue about more people using it than used to be alive 200 years ago)

Where is the video of some douchey richy white dweeb trying to get the guy who put the gun in his hand arrested?

uganda

So basically what we saw in blood diamond?

I guess America needs to attack Uganda now?

drop da bomb.

Is that you in the vid oggy? but that is exactly what it is. Pro war propaganda. Disturbing honestly how quickly Americans were ready to run up in their area over this noise.

na thats drinkingwithbob he does these awesome rants on youtube but he actually knows what he's talking about

Do any of you guys believe the CEO's follow-up video on why over 80% of the revenue goes to the operating costs?

haven't seen it, but no I don't believe it. These guys are disingenuous douches so nothing they'll say I'll even listen to. If this wasn't such a falsified and sensationalized, interventionist propaganda piece it would still be a net good even if they wasted most of the money, because Ugandan kids on the ground would still be helped, but all things considered this is exploitative garbage.

The only thing Kony 2012 is good for is the discussions it inspired.

Oggy do you remember "The Wave" video from high school? Yall watch it?
