Are you guys familiar with the KONY 2012 thing going on lately? If not, here’s a little something to educate yourselves on. Joseph Kony? Is a f-cking dick. Who enslaves children for sexual and militant purposes. Here’s his child thing in a nutshell, but there’s much, much more:
He ordered the abduction of children to become child-sex slaves and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and two million people have been internally displaced since 1986. In 2005, Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, but has evaded capture. The LRA operates in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Sudan.
And yes, he’s still doing it, if you’re wondering.
Here’s some background information on Invisible Children:
Invisible Children, Inc. is headquartered in San Diego and employs 43 full-time, permanent staff who work alongside hundreds of volunteers to spearhead our awareness and advocacy work internationally.
Invisible Children first began its work in Uganda in 2005. Based in Gulu, Invisible Children Uganda (ICU) began by working alongside local visionaries, such as Ms. Jolly Okot, who identified the areas of greatest need in northern Uganda at the time. Relying on this local leadership and expertise, Invisible Children Uganda worked to develop programs on the ground.
And lastly, here’s a link to the video if you have thirty minutes to do nothing but … watch the video. Which I recommend, especially if this is the first place you’ve heard about this Kony douche and his monstrosities.
Anyway, Invisible Children is synonymous with the KONY 2012 campaign, as is its founder, Jason Russell. Who was found on the streets of San Diego acting … well, acting like he was definitely high as a kite on something, but his reps say that it was all due to exhaustion, malnutrition, and excessive thirst or something. Here’s the video courtesy of TMZ (which is kind of NSFW) featuring Russell doing his thing on a street corner:
And here’s another video, just from a different angle (but no, there’s no penis, you sick freak):
Here’s the official statement:
Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday. Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time.
But yet he’s so tired and exhausted and encumbered by his myriad responsibilities with KONY 2012 and Invisible Children that he’s wandering around in public, openly jerking off, slapping the asphalt, ranting about the Devil, and loudly using profanities.
I mean, isn’t that what you do when you’re tired and thirsty, too? Duh.
Sure makes me want to donate money to him.
“Exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition.”
Oh, you mean the things that the majority of kids in Africa go through nearly every single day? Huh.
Joseph Kony is dead, Invisble children is a scam – do not be fooled.
please stop spreading this KONY2012 nonsense. There have now been hundreds of videos denouncing the KONY2012 video as rubbish. it’s like if someone was asking for money to stop the nazis during world war 2! The kony situation has been over for years and the Invicisible children finances are by the way VERY dodgy.
The only reason they are banging the war drum to go “save uganda” is because they’ve just found oil there.
Yes it’s always about the same subject.
In the end: educate yourselves.
This american ugandan explains it very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DO73Ese25Y
That is too funny. If you’re going to have a breakdown, that’s the way to do it. Butt naked on the street in broad daylight.
You probably should have mentioned that KONY2012 is a shady, non-reputable charity at best and a scam at worst. My understanding was that his breakdown occurred as a result of the video becoming huge overnight and then a major backlash occurring just as quickly when people found out about how shitty and non-helpful the organization really is.
Propaganda. Pro war propafuckingganda. When will the sheeple learn?
I would also encourage you girls to do some research. As someone in the field of ‘humanitarian efforts’, i can say this campaign is both misinformed and set to do more damage than good. It’s truly tragic.
Poor Jason was used as a patsy then humiliated. Mind control/brainwashing at work. This is nothing to laugh about unless ure a retard.
Malnutrition? Where does all that energy come from? It’s likely something more along the lines of crystal meth or a manic episode. Maybe stress and malnutrition brought on a manic episode but I highly doubt this is as a result of bodily stress alone.
