Seriously.

Kony 2012.
Yes.
Everyone trying to be wittier than the post below them about why supporting it is bad.
No.
Stupid.

I shouldn't care because I believe in the campaign and have faith that telling people about the problem can help. And yes abortion, cancer, other countries, our country, and other warlords are also bad. I support any campaigns for them too. I'm not choosing between Kony 2012 and being pro-life, believe it or not.
And yes, it has been around for 26 years. I know. This new campaign has been around for 3 days, and already is worldwide and completely off the charts viral. That is God using his people to touch lives.
As much as I want to buy into your it's been around for way too long for people to care now mindset, it is not happening. This is real, and Invisible Children has done awesome things for this. Their video and Kony 2012 campaign was genius for targeting a new strategy. Yes, I wrote on my car windows and will be putting up posters. I've told 20 plus people the story in the past 2 days and have posted numerous links online.
You saw these, noted that it was as easy as posting a status to spread this life saving message, but instead bashed it. But that creates drama, which intrigues people and starts fires, and that might be bringing more attention to it than just the followers are.
I think this is big and will go far, and will help.
I know I shouldn't be getting so frustrated by the criticism. Hopefully I can reverse that into praise for this cause. Kudos Invisible Children.
Kony 2012.
