Dude its a scam. Your money would have been better donated to Unicef or Children in Need.

no offense, but after seeing the video and all the support, i highly doubt that


If you knew you were going to get millions in profits I bet you would put every bit of effort into it.

Put the bracelet on your pee pee.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

I'm thinking of buying one just for the fact that its so retarded that its hilarious.

Noone is saying that they think the situation in Uganda is hilarious. We are saying that the IC Kony 2012 campaign was a money making scam riding off social networking hype.

Read this. It will enlighten you. Invisible Children are just out to make profit, no other charity would keep that much of the revenue for themselves.

If you really want to help third-world countries then UNICEF or Children in Need are worthy charities who will actually use your money for good, not just to pad out their bank accounts.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

If you want to pretend you care about some kids in a country that the majority of those wearing that bracelet can't find on a map, sure.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Only about 1.50 went to the actual cause (which was probably used to fund the corruption in Uganda and the military which is just as bad as Kony's group).

Invisible Children:
-Only 32% of money raised went to direct services (if you support the issue you may want to choose a more worthwhile charity).
-Their accountability and transparency is a 2 out of 4 stars on charity navigator.
-The group is in favor of direct military intervention, and their money supports the Ugandan government's army and various other military forces.
- Foreign Affairs has claimed that Invisible Children (among others) "manipulates facts for strategic purposes, exaggerating the scale of LRA abductions and murders and emphasizing the LRA's use of innocent children as soldiers, and portraying Kony - a brutal man, to be sure - as uniquely awful, a Kurtz-like embodiment of evil."

Writing your government officials, starting/signing a petition, and/or donating to a real charity that actually uses money to support whatever cause is indicative of caring. Buying a bracelet from a shady company is indicative of wanting to appear as if you care, and wanting to fit in with other people of that group.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?
