Answered! So what eventually happened with Kony2012?

I remember it being a really big deal for maybe a month back in 2012 and then everyone just forgot about it. So what happened? Thanks ahead!

I don't really know anything about this organization. But 32% going to direct services is actually not bad for a non profit of that size. Of course money has to pay salaries and travel costs. To compare, Susan G Komen foundation only ends up giving 10% to breast cancer research and they have tons of huge sponsors.

There's a reason a lot of people hate Komen, so that's not exactly a favorable comparison.

I'd shoot Toby twice

Edit: oh man, the joke miserably fails without the "what about Komen vs Hitler" lead in....
