There has been a lot of attention paid to a recent topic flooding twitter and facebook concerning KONY 2012.  KONY 2012 is a  video posted by the non-profit group The Invisible Children which seeks to call attention to the atrocities committed by The Lord’s Resistance Army in Central Africa and Uganda.  Since the video was posted on Monday it has been viewed nearly 50 million times, with the majority of views in the age 13-24 demographic.  Social media has spread information about the war crimes committed by Joseph Kony and the LRA, however there has also been some backlash about whether the tactics that are being used will help the people effected by the LRA.  Blog discussion Q's:  What was your reaction to the"trending" topic KONY 2012?  What are your thoughts on the film KONY 2012?  Agree or disagree with the backlash given to the Invisible Children's tactics?  What do you plan to do?
