Kony 2012 Have you heard ?
Okay , so this is my first time posting some thing in alacrity's forum or generally speak out on ala and I'm glad that it can be some thing constructive as this , i don't know if this is some thing you guys would be interested in but i know that the least i can do is raise awareness about this topic , i strongly recommend watching the video and what not linked at the Bottom to fully understand,Also my intention of this thread is just to raise awareness so go easy on meFirst of all Kony is a man who abducts kids , 26 years he has been kidnapping kids into his rebel group the LRA and using the Girls as sex slaves and the boys into soldiers , he makes them kill there parents , There are 30,000 kids he have abducted into his group, this have made kony 1st on the worst criminal list for the ICC
"Over a period of nearly 30 years, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army has abducted children and forced the boys to kill their parents and turned the girls into sex slaves.

"The aim of Kony 2012 is to make the man famous, "not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice".
Film-maker Jason Russell says Kony is the "most wanted man in the world according to the ICC", and his documentary aims to put the name into every household's conversation.
Since going live yesterday, tens of thousands of Australians have signed onto the cause and with millions of views worldwide, the video has certainly grabbed The Internet's collective attention."

this comment made me open my eyes to what this kony 2012 thing could be
"The video is upfront about being an experiment in viral media — the directors are actively taking advantage of the fact that "there are more people on Facebook than there were on the planet 200 years ago" and that "humanity's greatest desire is to belong and connect." But the self-satisfied voice over and slick editing reminded me of the most obnoxious Kick starter-funded documentaries I've been asked to support. Is that truly a reason not to get behind a worthy cause? Not really."
