? Who ever said that? My "sect of society" would be one that picks and chooses based on information provided. I am against the Internet bill being proposed by Toews, I don't mind Wikileaks...anonymous can do as much good as bad in my view (though they have gotten better recently, having slowly weeded out their cruel actions in favour of real social progress). Here, I don't have much support of this movement as it bills a man who other sources have deemed less important as a primary villain.
Either way, it was a bit of fun at the expense of You Need A Thneed's comments. I never meant to infer anything from the numbers itself as I have never run or worked for an organization such as Invisible Children, so I don't know what the typical scheme is.

And, while I appreciate this video's effort in doing that, I do think there are way better streams to give money through to help Africa. Uganda has bigger issues than bringing down Kony now and Invisible Children's primary goal seems to be more focused on that rathan than the other issues.
In other words, I like the fact that the video brought the issue up, but have questions as to the movement's direction.
