'The next twenty-seven minutes are an experiment"
The majority of us heard it. The majority of us now want to do something about it. Arguably the most potent words we have heard as a nation this year.
The problem is that within those 27 minutes there isn't actually anyone who grapples with what 'invisiblechildren' does, will do or could do. There are flaws.
For example, Kony2012's outgoings against it's profits are minimal. It also supports the Ugandan and Sudanese armies, which are rife with accusations of rape and pillaging. Kony is a bad man, granted, but by supporting 'invisiblechildren' you are indirectly supporting the acts of the armies, which are loathsome.
Naturally, such a bandwagon can have incredible effects. If Kony is caught, and I hope he is, then 'invisiblechildren' will have been a major success.
Just be aware of the cause of what you are following; quite rightly, but quite blindly.
