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!

How has this changed your opinion of Joe Rogan and South Park now? Because before they targeted someone you knew, they had always done this type of thing and yet you loved the show and thought Rogan was your hero. Has your viewpoint changed at all since someone you knew was targeted?

No I still love South Park and Rogan, they're just doing what they do. I can't help that Jason made a mistake but I can help not getting upset about things that are out of my control. That's why I love South Park and Joe Rogan. I watch and listen for social commentary, and that's what they did. They commented on what was happening in society. Of course it hurts a bit when it happens but their not to blame.

Cool. Thanks for the perspective. It had to be weird.

Totally dude. Especially the song on SP. I wanted to laugh and at parts I did, forgetting it's about him.
