I know we didn't discuss Kony 2012 much in here, but this is an interesting piece of schadenfreude.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I was going to post something to my facebook about donating to Doctors Without Borders in Uganda instead of this Kony thing because the charity aspect looks so...shady. But it seemed like I was being a holier-than-thou douchebag. So I didn't. BUT I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING NUTTY ABOUT THAT DUDE I JUST KNEW IT

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's also a connection between the Kony 2012 thing and Uganda's proposed "kill the gays" law.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Whoa. That's not the best way to respond to publicity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Women need to masturbate in public more, or at least get prosecuted for it.
Okay, I think I've prepped as much as I can for my testing tomorrow. I can't think of anything else to do. Can I go...wait, dammit, downside of working from home. And I don't dare actually close my laptop...

I found the whole thing fascinating, for the viral success of the video, and the number of people who jumped on board without really knowing anything about them. I had only heard of Invisible Children before through, believe it or not, Fall Out Boy. And now, knowing what I read about some of their very anti-gay funding, I have to wonder if Pete Wentz ever researched the organization at all.
The profile of the guy from the article above was linked on Jezebel, and he sounded completely insane. Like, so far off the map he was falling off the planet.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
His bowl is sitting to the left of the stove. You don't have to walk him. Seven is fine, I fed them all before I left.

I heard about Invisible Children from a very earnest student. I'm sure she'd be horrified to hear about the anti-gay funding.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

At first I thought this was some new euphemism for crazy.
