The internet rallies us to causes of imagined import.

That was one of the first examples of supporting the current thing. It was a great month of memes.

The best part about the Kony era was that the creator got so famous so quickly he went literally insane

It even inspired the hit track "Jackin it in San Diego".

my kids came home in during the Kony 2012 'campaign' frenzy and were all about it

i let them read this War Nerd article from 2002 and they came to realize that the whole thing was a scam, and it was just African Warlords doing African Warlord stuff

the dude who made the video going nuts provided a nice coda to the story
