*Raising public awareness is good - if it results in something meaningful and real (and not just numbers of people who "like" something)
* Viral marketing works, it feeds of the concept of internet memes and I feel that PR companies and lobbyists of all sorts are getting the hang of how to make such campaigns work successfully and exploit the trust people have in "the internet" as a true grassroots form of activism. See that "viral video" that was made by the EU that I posted yesterday for an example of something that mostly failed (but was a success in the target group by the way) * Invisible children and Kony2012 seem to have a strong affiliation to christian missionary groups. As I understand it, they are collecting donations and use quite a bit of it to bring christianity and christian values to Uganda because they think that this will cause peace there. I will not give my money to any christian church... * There is a RAP NEWS about this : RAP NEWS 12: Yes We KONY? - YouTube

Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
