Invisible Children #KONY2012

 when i finished watching this movie i said to my self:  this is exactly what "techno-utopia" means, it is simply using the digital tools to make the world a better place.

 However when i checked the comments on the video i realized that its rising a lot of controversy ! some are saying that "invisible children" is not a trust worthy org , and that US are there for the OIL ...(same old same old) but the most ligament argument in my point of view is the one that says: " only 37% from donation is acutely going directly to Uganda... " so i tracked the number down and its true - here look up page 35- . 

 yet  on the other hand i am not sure if that ruins it for me because the rest of the money goes to " awareness programs, awareness products ...." and only 16.24% goes to (management and general ) so its not that bad i guess ?! 

 Any way with out any farther due here is the video :
