Kony 2012

I'm not really a culture maker, but I can make Joseph Kony famous in strange circles. Take a moment to learn about this piece of crap.

...However, Invisible Children was accused of spending most of its raised funds on salaries, travel expenses and film-making.
Bloggers also pointed out that NGO watchdog Charity Navigator had given the group only two out of four stars for financial accountability.

Invisible Children posted a blog to answer the criticism.
