This has just made its way round to my Facebook and then I noticed this thread was here already, proof that this social networking may just work. Always good to have Clooney aboard, I feel so much safer when he's around.

I watched this half an hour ago and it had 21,690 views. Now it has over 54,000.

Sick ****, but GB or US wont go to war with them because theres no oil in the Congo, this country has known about loonies like this for years and we do fk all, Kids are being exploited and killed, families slaughtered.

Sadam Might have had weapons of Mass destruction and was opressing people, Still clearing up the war

These status updates about Kony are ridiculous, they've had 20 years to give a shit about it and they watch one video and all of a sudden it's a huge emergency which they'll have forgotten about by next week. Most couldn't even point out Uganda on a map.

So we shouldn't bother now? Its already been 20 years lets let him continue.. This is the brilliance of social media.. Before this video I had not heard of Kony, I knew what the rebels did was wrong but nothing more.

Surely that's the point of this video though? To raise awareness that this stuff is happening and that people can actually make a difference.
I can't believe how anyone wouldn't want to give this their full backing..

The US recently sent in humanitarian aid and US forces to help hunt down Joseph Kony. Which of course has nothing to do with the recent discovery of $2.5 billion barrels of crude oil along the border.

As good as the cause is, invisible children isn't the most .. ethical charity.

I was just about to come on here and post that - there's a lot of good supporting Kony 2012, but it's even better doing it after hearing all the facts and making an informed decision.

As someone whose job heavily involves social media, its brilliant that it's being used so effectivly, but also scary to see how it blindly leads so many...

 

[Sam Ovett]

Yeah, Kony's a prize **** but Invisible Children aren't necessarily to be trusted. Read quite a lot about it today (being a geography student gives me way too much spare time) and IC seem very dodgy. 31% of the money goes on helping, the rest goes into the pockets of the leaders and the filmmaking.

STOP KONY....but probably not the KONY 2012 thingy

First mistake, should just ask Chuck Norris to pop out and go get him. Job done.

 

[dgh123]

I agree with the part in trying to bring Kony to justice but the organization seems to be a bit dodgy, but then again at least there doing something! Kony2012 video goes viral, and so do concerns about its producers | World news | guardian.co.uk

30 min video on one of the sickest men alive,

I watched a video that promised the sickest women (two of them and a drinks vessel) alive and I am not going to make the same mistake twice.
