Such worth 30min of your life to watch!!

We need to catch this monster!!!!

I had heard of him before but didn't notice or realize how much of a monster he was.

Very sad!

Time to change things now!

Wow very powerful, not sure what us little aussies can do except share this......

But maybe I can ring our new Foreign Minister and get him on the agenda!

Better still Scotty88 should call him, he was his local member

My daughter just bought this to my attention.

The groundswell effect that is being created here will surely see justice prevail.

Our combined global social conscience can make a massive difference with this one!

We should do a downwinder for Kony and tie some red ribbons around our paddles.

We'll have to come up with a name for it - how about:

Kony 2012 Challenge

Paddle against the c(|)nt



Maybe we should do an upwinder event instead, still keep the red ribbons though?

Sounds great - we should make it a family event - just to raise maximum awareness.

I'll bring my invisible children - they can hold up invisible banners on the beach. We can get invisible sponsors who have invisible demo boards.

I think it is good to see social media be used in a such a positive manner.
People power works and we now all know a lot more about a war crim who needs to be eliminated. Polly's will only act in democracies if they think it will get them votes. Very slick video which will work in this case. Only problem will be if this works well then we will all be seeing more appear in our inboxes

Loved the vid and was inspired to do something.

I was a little concerned about the flash offices and fleet of brand new cars with sign writing though. You can understand how the charity only gives 30% with expenses like that.

Regardless though, fantastic concept to bring to light the actions of a real criminal and build public support for the Pollys to make decisions on catching him.

Last I checked the stats on vimeo over 10 million people in 3 days have watched it. I'd imagine today its more like 20 Million. That's some penetration.
