Most of you have probably heard of and/or seen the Kony 2012 video and most of you probably figured out that it was just a propaganda film designed to create public support for military intervention in Africa so that the USA can control resources in a few key countries on that continent. The problem is that it's obvious that a huge number of people mistake the propaganda film as a reliable source of information despite its obvious use of emotional manipulation techniques. Oh well, anyways, this guy has some funny things to say about the film...

Then as I was telling them told about it, I reminded myself heck I haven seen it either. So from your post I started watching it, After the first 2 minutes I was so board with it. I had to stop. Not sure if I'm a grumpy mood or what. But I still wonder how did they get that many views?
