Well it's for the greater good. But the timing is so ridiculous.

It's been months, if not years since Kony has actually done anything like the acts he's infamous for.

Its funny, its all just a bunch of mindless bandwagoning.
I assure you that only a select few of people -actually- care about whats going on in Africa whereas the rest of the Kony supporters are simply giving into the pressure of conformity, "if everyone else is doing it then why aren't I?" is the logic most of the supporters use. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with the fact something needs to be done, but to say that people know 100% what they are supporting is outrageous.

I actually thought it was real for a moment. But then two major flaws in the whole campaign...

1) They have pics and vids of this guy IN his crime scenes. Now I'm not a reporter, but I'm pretty sure reporter 101 says ALWAYS carry a gun with you when in situations like this... Why didn't they just shoot his ass there?

2) They didn't ask us to advertise him. They asked us to BUY advertisements from them to "stop" him. Now where have I heard that before...?

1) I wouldn't kill him if it got me into trouble or just certain death right after.

2) If they're so eager to spread the word, they should hand them out for free. They bein' capitalist hippies.

Problem is, no country in the world either cares enough or would want to fight children to get to Kony.

This is why I'm tempted to post an image of that guy from Predator and praise him for his work (without giving his name), letting people comment about how horrible I am for supporting Kony, then reveal that it's not Kony.

It's a scam, whatever you do don't give them any money for gods sake, it just goes to the guy who made the video. Seriously, the US has 100 troops already there advising and searching for him, the people that need to know and can do something about it are already on the case. He's on the US most wanted list, no money is needed.

One of those points is somewhat correct whereas the other is slightly misguided.
Only 31% of the money actually goes to help Uganda in various ways (build schools, build watchtowers ect.) and the rest goes to fatten the pockets of the "Invisible Children" founders. However the goal of invisible children was to raise awareness, this mission has actually already been accomplished and the government are indeed acting to stop Kony, but the continued influx of money simply goes to the wallets of IC founders. However on the point of him being on the most wanted list (at the top) means nothing, they wouldn't have bothered to find him with all the other things going on in the world, economic crisis and whatnot. So IC has done some good, its made Kony a priority....however they continue to net in money which seemingly goes no-where.

Actually the US went looking for him about 6 years ago and he has been in hiding since, no awareness of Kony himself was needed. He hasn't been a threat for a long time either, the whole thing is misleading.

Yeah they went looking for him 6 years ago......which implies that the search ceased?
The government needed to know that it was in the interest of the public that he be captured, make him more of a priority. Again more important matters like the economic crisis got in the way and they wouldn't have bothered to look for him again anytime soon were it not for the intervention of Kony2012. However saying that I still don't really support the cause, since after all it is just bandwagoning on an old problem.
