Why is everyone supporting Kony 2012 because it's a trending topic? - Terry Jameson - 04-08-2014 04:33 AM
I've watched the video AND read up about the situation and from my own perspective IC's story is full of garbage. For the past week, everyone on facebook, twitter, and youtube comments continue to support kony 2012. So many "cover the city" groups are forming as well. A lot of these people are so stupid, I don't understand why when people argue with the legitimacy of IC and the whole Joseph Kony thing, they brush off whatever you argue and say "watch this video please." It's a 30 minute documentary christ. IC is a business, they're making so much bank from this trend happening right now. I hate the fact that there have been videos from REAL Ugandans that have spoke about what really happens in Uganda. Even they have said going back to Uganda, they have not heard of Kony for YEARS. This is ridiculous that these people can continue to support Kony 2012 without knowing what's actually happening.

yeah.....I'm sure throwing money at a situation like this will work, even after he has been doing this for 26 years, wake up people! This has been going on in Africa for years and it took a 30 min videos to expose you to these problems? Everyone is automatically a "social activist" now? Nothing will change for the time being.
By the way something is already being done.
