the people i talked with from invisible children did seem a little...
like...
hipsters. interesting.
that kind of really bums me out.EDIT: After watching the film, eff what I said before. Who cares? They actually got the governments attention and are getting peoples attention and ... eff my stupid cynicism.
This is stuff that matters. Quit being counter culture inclined prats and care enough to set aside your better-than-thou attitude.
Adding yourself to a rank can be hard for some people because they want to be an individual, and are worried their somehow losing their individuality when joining something big.
That's just insecurity, and it's different than not joining something because you're morally inclined to disagree.
I'm not saying anyone that opposes is guilty of that.
I'm just clearing that up if it's the case for anyone.
If you actually think that Kony needs to be stopped, join the rest of the people that think that too.
Stop fricking subdividing yourselves.
Also,
Considering the charity posts revenue at around $13,000,000 annually (based on their 2011 numbers), assets of about $1,000,000 dollars and executive salaries totalling $300,000 doesn't really seem that out of line.
Also, the tech equipment makes sense, given their awareness campaigns being almost totally based in digital media and film.
Running a charity at an overhead of around 10% of revenue isn't really that unreasonable. Rates of 10-30% are actually pretty typical.

Also, we're frickin creative people. If you still are all for kony being stopped then do something about it. Don't just diss the efforts of others and then go back to eating cheetos and playing banjo kazooie.
You're capable of making it even bigger outside of invisible children. Make your own posters. Heck, make a game. Do something.
I think of invisible children only as a hub that has off-shooting spokes.
You can be yourself and still do something important if that's how you roll.
