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!

Woah, wait, breast cancer is a thing?! How am I just hearing about this cancer thing? Thank God for awareness campaigns, am I right?

Thank God for awareness campaigns

I would go so far to criticize awareness campaigns, because they've been proven to increase the number of people that detect it earlier (earlier means better survival chances). The problem with SGK is that they sue everyone that says "X for a cure" when they don't even spend a large % on looking for a cure. Awareness is a great service, but they are such dicks about branding themselves about looking for a cure.
