The Ugandan military will probably just end up killing a bunch of children he puts in front of him as a shield while Kony escapes.
Also the Ugandan military is known for horrible acts such as rape and murder (not in combat) that are either encouraged or at least swept over by the command.
Invisible Children puts more money into their employee salaries and making new videos than they do helping any children. Awareness is important, I'll admit, but I just feel wrong supporting an organization of this manner.

EDIT

Also,

Kony 2012? ANYONE but Obama or Romney will do!

Post by: B E C K on Mar 11, 2012, 12:56:31 AM: I also refused to google it and found I didn't have to because it appeared in people's facebook stuff and on news sites I chell. It's like an internets petition except instead of bringing back a dead tv show, they want to kill a live person. Now they just need to figure out what to send in the mail en masse to make producers pay attention. I say it should be Snickers bars.

Post by: Rama on Mar 11, 2012, 01:37:42 AM: You know if you added on bringing back an old TV show it might get more support. "Kill Kony and bring back Firefly."

Oh and fuck Firefly! That show deserved to be canned.

Post by: Sam on Mar 12, 2012, 10:59:55 AM: The feed full of people talking about how the KONY 2012 thing is bullshit was quite probably more annoying than the KONY 2012 stuff itself was.

I admit I may have posted two articles about the bullshittery.

It was funnier when those that were full on supporting it turned around and dropped those kinds of links.
