Seriously, this shit just got re-twitted a shitload of times and flocked over every irrelevant youtube video I've seen in the last hour. Ironically, I'm still too lazy to watch the video, but I know the guy. What I don't know is what exactly woke people up about him and the situtation in Africa now.
You know, outside of the obvious viral marketing for MGS5.
In any case, this

I'm always really suspicious or cautious about anything that gets hugely widespread and popular like this, thinking that there's something probably not right about it.

I haven't watched it either, not because I'm lazy, but because I have a feeling this is going to be the kind of leftist thing that makes me cringe, yawn and sigh throughout.

I'll go for UN aid. But that would mean they'd also have to say and try and fix everything wrong in Africa and I couldn't see anyone doing this when worldwide economy could afford it.

Too much attention on one single criminal. We have TONS of Konys sitting in government offices right now. Don't get it twisted, I love seeing criminal scum get exposed, but this is becoming a trend spreading.
Like I've said for years now, if massive amounts of attention are focused on just one guy, it's a distraction. I agree that Kony should be taken down, but that also goes for the tons of other Konys who aren't gonna trend on twitter.
Reeeaaallllyyyyy? Not one of you can find 30 minutes out of your day to watch this video? It's really well made and I personally think it's for a good cause.

It's exactly that. What's kinda funny is that the guy "making" the video has his son in it too, and he's basically exploiting him to get at people's emotions. You'd think these liberals would take exception to that too, but NOPE.

Yep. They'd probably love it if the US launched a full campaign in Uganda to capture Joey. But we all know that won't happen, because we're too busy getting ready to invade Iran.
