Viral Videos and the not so pure cause

If you haven't seen the Kony 2012 video, you are one of few. In only a week, the viral video highlighting the recruitment of child soldiers by Kony shot to 90,000,000+ views. As many jumped on the bandwagon, it became interesting to watch as the film's creator/producer/founder of Invisible Children was arrested. While this video commentary above is humorous, it is also an interesting commentary into how we jump on board with causes and things we see so many others agree with, while not truly knowing what is going on.

I have also found it quite interesting to find many people who are against America's role as world police and sending troops all over the world suddenly posting that we need to send more troops to find Kony and play that world police role that they so decidedly will advocate against in other situations.
