    Sigh, I’ve got Facebook friends who are giving me the pisser over that stupid Kony thing.
    I probably shouldn’t have pointed out that even getting rid of Kony wouldn’t solve the problem in central Africa, and that it would just leave a space for the Sudanese or the Ugandan Army (which were painted as sort of good guys in the gag-tastic video).
    They do the same things as the LRA.
