With all the hype of Kony 2012 you have to wonder what affect this 30minute video truly has on usurping the Uganda warlord. Simply stated "The Kony2012 campaign will primarily succeed in making Invisible Children, not Joseph Kony, more famous."
It's true! I know I know we all say how POWERFUL social media has gotten, but seriously....
IT IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO OVERTHROW A WARLORD.
and Invisible Children knows that. Ever think it was just a ploy to get more funding? It all comes down to the money...always. Also, this cause is not new it has been around for ages, and just now people decide to step up due to a YouTube video, have some dignity and don't let SOCIAL MEDIA CONTROL YOUR LIFE.
Now I'm not saying we shouldn't be made aware or that at least some of Invisible Children's intentions were in the right place. But all the hype is annoying. People have to remember that everything is a business and YES for all of those people that get super annoyed at watching commercials and people trying to sell you stuff..... YOU FELL FOR THIS ONE...
Your are not above marketing.... It will get you...and this is a perfect example of how.
Seriously how many of us are now gong to get up and go to Africa to help, or even donate money. No were just gunna walk away knowing "oh yeah that crazy video Invisible Children posted was so intense."
HERE is more publication on the matter, revealing that historic and at times irrelevant information provided within the video. PLEASE read.
