I don't know if you all have heard about KONY 2012, yet, but...I thought I'd spread the word since I pledged in yesterday! I know the video is 30 minutes long, but it's definitely worth watching. It only came out March 5th and has already been viewed by over 30 million different people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc Summary: There's this man, Joseph Kony, and he's already abducted over 30 THOUSAND children. The numbers are rising and this man, Jason Russell, is the one who started the fight to arrest and execute this terrorist. He only recently got the US government to step in, but the catch is--If they don't believe we care, they'll immediately stop the operation and pull out our troops. Which is dumb, I know. So on April 20th, everyone (who wants to participate, of course) will bring out their little Kony kits and "Cover The Night". |

That's a totally appropriate date. Let's all celebrate the birthday of a late genocidal maniac by putting up posters demanding the incarceration/execution of a living genocidal maniac. |

I watched some of the video, but it was just about people talking to some kids in Africa? |

The man responsible for this was arrested for public masturbation. What a scumbag. |

From what I've heard, it sounds like the guy has a mental issue and needs some help, not internet ridicule. :\ There are plenty of other reasons to hesitate before leaping head over heels for this video(hit up google), but that's not one of them. |

Oh wow. Seems I missed that on the news. O_o Poor guy...He does sound a little off currently, but I suppose after 14 years of chasing after a dream far out of his reach, it would drive anyone insane. |
