^read these articles, it will explain why i think why you people are stupid. 

the company is horribly non-transparent, and, upon closer examination of their financials, (on their website) less than 50% of the money they get actually get goes to helping people. 

Its sad that everyone is mindlessly jumping on this bandwagon without knowing anything about what they are supporting. They seem to think that watching a 30 minute video that tugs at your heart-strings makes you an expert on a subject that they knew nothing about prior to watching. 

it just shows that people don't want to care about what they are supporting, they just want to support something. They want to feel like they are doing good, like they are 'helping the cause', regardless of what the cause actually is. "Couch Activism" is a good word to describe what you are doing. 

And a couple words about kony: Don't think that he is going to be found in a couple of months, or even a couple of years for that matter. Look at how long it took to find bin-ladin. The united States launched a full out invasion, and it still took them ten years to find him. 10 YEARS! This guy is hiding in the jungle, and by all accounts, isn't even in uganda any more. They dont even know what country he is in and, according to that video ( yes i watched it) he knows that he is sought after, and has gone int hiding. 

Don't think anything is going to come of this, it will probably be forgotten about by the beginning of April anyway.
