Thanks for the share. I enjoyed it. I'm glad to see others out there not only criticizing the Kony 2012 campaign but doing so in a materialist manner, pointing out the connection to wider events. He definitely did a good job touching upon the phenomena of seemingly well-meaning, white, middle class liberals.

what do you mean?

[¿Que?]

Fuck it. I'm going to watch Kony2012, at least until I can't stand it any more. All I've been hearing is critics who basically confirmed my suspicions when I first heard of Invisible Children last year. I want to smell the bullshit for myself, at least up until the point where I gag or puke.

Just wait until you see that part where the director condescedingly asks the one of the Ugandan children in a weird pseudo-foreign accent "So this good school taught you how to speak English and that's why you can talk to us?" :huh: Ummmm....fuckhead, English is the first language of pretty much all Ugandans.
