I wish people were just as corcerned about gun violence as they are about Kony 2012. Many children in under privileged communities are dying by the thousands because of gun violence here in America. The sad thing is these digital freedom fighters get pumped about a crisis happening in another continent. Yet, as they buy their "Action Kit" another child has been shot to death 8 miles away from their neighborhood.
- Gun violence in america is the result of there politic, you can not compare america to africa.ApeRobot
- No I cannot compare when it comes to certain standards of poverty. However both continents have high mortality rates among black youth. Majority of the deaths come from violence. We Americans learn to ignore others just because there in America.Thecreativeone

i hope this will stop people from sending me that video.
“What that video says is totally wrong, and it can cause us more problems than help us,” said Dr Beatrice Mpora, director of Kairos, a community health organisation in Gulu, a town that was once the centre of the rebels’ activities.
“There has not been a single soul from the LRA here since 2006. Now we have peace, people are back in their homes, they are planting their fields, they are starting their businesses. That is what people should help us with.”

So I read a few articles that all the kids who bought posters are already out plastering them across their cities.
Frankenstein all over again innit?

I understand the process, but for fuck sake the way this company has gone about advertising this is just wrong, I swear it more to do with that annoying American kid, then it does helping a charity, and any website with Bushes face on it is not a good thing.

This thread exists therefore the video has done its job. It's an amazing pieces of viral marketing, extremely well planned and orchestrated.
It proves youtube/facebook as a useful medium but it's far too much power for such a small group to be wielding. IT seems they've taken it all into their own hands, without really trying to collaborate in a useful way with any other charities/humanitarian groups etc.Still, you have to hand it to the creators of the video, it seems they will have managed what so many others haven't... to motivate a young and apathetic generation into (potential) action for a charitable cause.
- Proves the point. People bitching against it is as good as the people for it. :)

Kind of reminds me of when someone finds a designer that rips work on QBN.
