Is the LRA an IRA splinter group?
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.

It reads more like a film studio than a charity but it does have their financials on their website available for download. Most places make people work to get the financials or make it so you have to request them.

30 mins of my life I am not getting back.

"if this were to happen to my son it would be on the front of Newsweek"... what a bunch of self-centered pricks. almost makes me want to support Kony....plus the regimentation of hipsters into bland masses of shouters is even scarier.

I'm watching clips of these Invisible Children guys on CNN right now, where they are relentlessly promoting their "campaign" on Piers Morgan.

If there are enough Twitter hashtags, Kony will die! seems to be the gist of it.

I'd like to snatch them, put them through infantry training and drop them in the central African jungle with a 100 pound load.

I don't know why but I feel instinctively suspicious when Mr Pelton tells me to feel instinctively suspicious.

most young folks won't get the Peter Beard, Dan Eldon, 700 club, out of africa, Shotgun Preacher, trustafarian, Starbucks, free trade, IPhone, U2/Red, anthropology gone amuck shtick part of it but this is probably the most damning evidence of the relevance of viral campaigns.
