Yes We KONY? - Kony Parody

published by Tom Sullivan on Sat, 2012-03-17 12:51

Juice Media present Rap News Episode 12: YES WE KONY. It's March, and the Internet delivers 2012's first globe-consuming meme: the unstoppable, Stop-Kony 2012 video, which has highlighted the plight of African child soldiering like never before. But is it really good? Is it really bad? Or is the world really more complex than 'good guys' and 'bad guys'? Whatevers; one thing's for sure, this is momentous: never had a 27-minute video devoid of both cats and boobs ever achieved such virality.

Is this a demonstration of the internet's ability to instantly inform and engage tens of millions; and a hopeful sign that there is a willingness among those millions, to engage passionately with something more meaningful? Or does Kony2012 just mark the dawn of a rapacious new era of viral humanitarian marketing? Join your charitable host Robert Foster - and our special guest, General Baxter, direct from AFRICOM - as we delve into the dark heart of the matter.

Excellent Sullivan. I had not seen this. And thanks to all for their additional contributions.

 

I’ve been reading trash about Kony for the last five years, but said nothing, since I thought no one would be interested. Then we suddenly had the “Kony 2012” video.  Now the lies are falling as fast as they rose. But it's okay, since the invasion is already underway to kick out the Chinese and steal the oil riches from the starving natives.

 

Everything is reversed, as it always is with the imperialist media. Kony fought against slavery and against the atrocities perpetrated by the ultra-corrupt Uganda government (a US ally).

Did Kony himself commit atrocities? I don’t know, but I do know that when your nation has suffered from poverty, theft, and  tyranny, you don’t treat collaborators well.

Anyway Kony is almost certainly dead. It’s Afghanistan redux, in which a massive invasion is launched to ostensibly find one man (who is already dead).

Average Ugandans despise the "Kony 2012" video, since they know the truth.

Oh, and Angelina Jolie can blow me. She is radically pro-war, pro-Israel, and pro-imperialist, just like her asshole father, actor John Voight.

According to the website below: Russell is a big fan of Oprah, Bono, Steven Spielberg, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Baz Luhrmann, and Dan Eldon.

According to CommonDreams.org:

"Jason Russell is an evangelical Christian and has been affiliated with Jerry Falwell's Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia."

(commondreams.org/headline/2012/03/16-6?print)

Now...do you all remember South Park, where Cartman got a special kind of probe by the aliens?

Makes me wonder  which probe made him go "free willy" in broad daylinght, could it be the spoilberg  or the falwell probe? Hmmm....

Anyway, Jason should go see Dr. Marcus Buchman.  Dr. Buchman is the only man who can "cure" him.

This KONY business reminds me of the recent Boycott Sri Lanka campaign - I haven't kept up much with Sri Lanka, but I do know their civil war was over with in May 2009.

After this little display does anyone still take Jason Russell seriously?

That is not "stress". That is alcohol or drugs.

Some guy who used to live on my block had started a software co. but could no longer function in it because of his alcohol issues. He still got 300K a year from the co. His brother runs it now.

He acted rationally until one day he decided to go on a 'bender' with his drinking. The next day I passed by his apt and he had the door open and was dancing around inside, buck naked. The neighbors said he'd come out on the sidewalk and started talking to people like that.

He's well known in the software field - computer guys speak of him with awe, yet apparently they have no idea what a complete mess he is.
