"Oh yeah? Tell you what, if it does, you have to..."

"Got to free the invisible children"

Another Pee Wee Herman ....

Great ....

richardharrow, dude... I spit iced tea out my nose. Hysterical!

Richard my man...you a funny guy.

XD Kind of getting the same reaction on facebook HAHA. glad you enjoyed bro :)

That made me laugh out loud, thanks richardharrow!

I think he was just trying to raise awareness for the cause ;)

"Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition."

Oh please, not the "twinkie" defense, again.

Actually, I thought he was hospitalized due to extreme embarrassment being caught masturbating in public. I mean, something like that WILL create stress don't you know.

Wow, I made a donation to this cause...rarely do that, but...

So beyond strange, I don't even know where to start. I have two theories.

1. Bipolar disorder. If thats the case, poor basterd.... bipolar strikes some of the most intelligent people, and can bring a person to great heights of success, and then send them crashing down into poverty and ruin just as quickly. Its a vicious illness.

2. Some shadowy people with a whole lot of power really don't like the idea of this whole "social networking for change" thing getting any traction, and decided it was time to do something about it. Perhaps they decided a little scandal would help to put a wet blanket over the whole thing. A little special secret government-made crazy-making pill added to someone's bottled water perhaps...

Im putting my money on bipolar though. It seems like the more logical thing.

Just because he is a Christian doesn't mean he isn't human; however, come on dude!! I mean that is so uncool. I am a CHristian and masterbating is fine IN YOUR OWN HOME...idiot..oops ..ill pray for this dude. Geez

Andy Lols

Seriously, do it and retweet via the link please ;)

Yikes...even in public, I would want bags of money around me, so that people could see that I came into money.

I was always told the dinosaurs died off because I touched myself too much.

This is news? WHO CARES ABOUT THIS GUY????

Who said that? I can't see you....(1.26) I'm blind.

10 to 2am x, yogi dmt, and a box of krispy kremes in my need to know pose just outside of area 51......

JD charity navigator reports that 80% goes to the cause. only 20% admin costs. That may not be acceptable to you but it is in my range of acceptable.

"I was always told the dinosaurs died off because I touched myself too much."

True, and they didn't stand a chance that day, did they? You slaughtered them all. And, you can stop it anytime now, ok? Stop, stop.... STOP IT I SAID.

DMorgan:

"Great. Another christian heterosexual perv, trying to pry his way into a children's charity. Good thing these good christians keep crusading against gays -- of course, those gays are the source of all the problems..."

Did you really lump this unbalanced exhibitionist and auto-eroticator (who, in other venues and media, would receive accolades for his "free-spiritedness") in with homosexuals? I would figure you would demonstrate a more discerning degree of support for homosexuals.

Or was there something else to your rant?

BTW, he's not trying "to pry into" anything, he's the "co-founder." That's partly why this is news. You know, person trying to help the helpless, turns out to have feet of clay, just like everybody else.

Maybe all of that masturbating is why he called the group 'Invisible Children'? Because he started not being able to see them?

Or, maybe, he was just trying to create some more of those invisible children that night!

It sounds like he was on Meth. Dehydrated,malnutrition,exhaustion, Public wienie wacking.

StrengthInNumbers

Please apply some of that questionable strength to research and some legwork. Bipolar disorder does not work that way, no matter what the high-priced defense lawyers and media doctors say, or what you see on TV, even the news.

As a reporter myself, I'd have to say it's not uncommon to find people masturbating, especially those whom have found recent good fortunes...for some reason.

Rene - it sure as heck does work that way. Questionable research nothing. It sure as heck does work that way. I have it in my family, and I have friends that have it in theirs. Bipolar episodes can cause very irrational behavior, and law enforcement is trained to look out for that, and for schizophrenia. Thats why this fellow was "detained" and not charged (yet) and why he was put into medical care. I can almost guarantee this is going to boil down to be a manic episode. Even the family mentions in the article there have been "issues". But Rene - what is YOUR experience to be being such a twit regarding my comment? Do tell what your voluminous experience with bipolar is... Id love to hear it. As for research, I suggest you read "Touched with Fire" as well as "An Unquiet Mind" both by Kay Redfield Jamison. Your OWN lack of research shows through in your petulant little post.

Thanks Richard, I needed that :) Too funny Bro.

awesome, he works his butt off to draw attention to a real cause and now he is running around with his flesh colored tic tac out...(insert face palm here)

I'm beginning to think the insane are really the sane. They keep telling the rest of us we are the crazies. Course we all keep telling them they are and we aren't. Seem to be more of them than us. Could it be?................. Waaaaaaaaaaa!

Looks like he used some of that donation money to buy some mushrooms. No way he was just drunk!

The true lesson of this story is that the game has changed.

Making videos was - not so long ago - in the realm of the wealthy and connected. Whomsoever controlled access to information was in charge.

Times have changed. Each individual now has the same power. Information has become readily available outside of the realm of the traditional power brokers. This is a landscape change, and nobody has really figured out what to do about it ~ or with it.

My 'petulance' is both research and experience. I am bipolar. So are many members of my family, but my experience is my own. I have had more than my share of manic episodes and they do not manifest themselves in that manner. "Manic" does not mean "Maniacal". While it is possible that this person is bipolar, something else also contributed to this; possibly something pharmaceutical. That is not a manic episode alone, and his behavior is beyond irrational. Not every incident like this can be attributed to mental illness; he could have just been on a bad trip. And let me assure you, the experience is far different then your 'expert' analysis... something most 'experts' will never understand as much as they want to appear to.

what he did could actually be a manifestation of mania, on the cusp of delusion. What applies to you doesn't apply to everyone. would they make medications that only applied to YOUR symptoms?

Or it could be unrelated. This does not have to be an incident of mental illness, but people automatically assume it is.

Just another Bat-@!$%# Crazy Christian with way to much free time.

It may not be seen as "mental illness" per se, but it does seem to qualify as "anomalous behavior" at the very least.

I have seen first hand bipolar mania and I would not be surprised to find that he suffers from this illness. Untreated bipolar mania can lead to psychotic episodes, which can look an awful lot like schizophrenia. In my experience, there is a lot of paranoia. Luckily it is treatable.

Rene -Your experience is not everyone else's. Glad you haven't had manic events that have been so bad that you didn't even remember what you did - but there are those that have manic events so extreme that psychosis and hallucinations also become part of the episode. Your research is pretty light, if you haven't come across case studies of manic events of this nature. And YES, Rene - the word "manic" DOES mean maniacal. Maniac, mania, maniacal ALL are rooted to the ancient Greek maniae or mania. Look it up, you can even wiki it. Easiest research you can ever do. Also, where do you get that people automatically assume it is mental illness? Seems YOU and most everyone else - are assuming its drug induced, and some homosexual methamphetamine thing!

Something tells me you're taking this all a bit too personally. As someone who suffers from bipolar disorder (I am assuming you know the difference between Type I and Type II, and that this level of mania would be associated with Type I BPD), I would think you would be wondering the same thing (if this was a manic event) about this situation. All I can tell you, is read Kay Redfield Jamison's works. She is in the forefront of BPD research, and you didn't even bother to acknowledge that I mentioned her works in my last post, which tells me your research is limited.

. . . was detained after witnesses reported a man masturbating and acting strangely, NBCSanDiego.com reported.

Masturbating in public? Eh, no big deal. Masturbating AND acting strangely in public? You're goin' to jail . . .

He joined the B.A.S.S. fishing club. He was just trying to win his Master Baiter certificate.

I am so sick of people blaming bipolar on this. do you quack psychologists know how many mental illnesses there are? Bipolar is probably the last one a knowledgable person would blame for this.

You people who are not bipolar have the same risk of doing what russell did as a bipolar person. so stfu

so stop smearing those of us who do have bipolar and stop pretending you know anything.

The guy is sick but bipolar didnt do this.

rich - why in GOD's name do you think I am smearing people with bipolar disorder? I am no more smearing people with BPD than I am people with heart disease if we were discussing a heart attack.

Manic episodes are dysfunction. They are sometimes extreme, and that is why Manic episodes are considered ILLNESS. Because they affect an individual's ability to function! Exhaustion is a classic symptom of the manic events of bipolar. The individual experiencing the event may not FEEL exhausted, and from the brief video clip of this poor man's break making the rounds now, this is clearly not a man bereft of physical energy. Getting a few hours of sleep a day (classic manic symptom) takes its toll on the mind, making the mania worse.

Theres no guarantee that this was BPD associated mania. If it wasn't BPD mania, and it wasn't drugs (family insists theres no substance abuse issues), it still is some form of mental illness, because one thing that is clear, this is not the behavior of a sane individual. Schizophrenia is so disruptive and the symptoms so without pause, that people can rarely function at a high level (like coordinating a grass-roots action campaign). Psychotic breaks are associated with SOME form of mental illness. Bipolar fits. BPD individuals are often highly functioning and very charismatic, especially before the manic episode passes that threshold between energetic and charismatic to frenetic and maniacal.

Some of the most talented people throughout history have been cursed with bipolar disorder. Scientists have found a high correlation between bipolar and high intelligence. the term "mad scientist" has its roots in the fact that some of the most genius people have also been some of the more eccentric and prone to bouts of "madness".

And rich, I sure do know how many mental illnesses there are, as well as variants of those illnesses. I do also know that there are a few that are much more prevalent and that mental illness diagnoses are frequently co-morbid, that is, occurring together.

I dont need to pretend that I know anything. Now both you and rene have come here to tell us we don't know anything about it, but both of you have failed to point out where we are wrong, and to offer correcting information. But rich, you REALLY need to stop projecting your own discomfort with your illness on the discussions of it. Theres no "smearing" coming from this direction.

In fact, I entered into this conversation to try to bring some empathy to the situation, since the conversation was going towards pedopheliac homosexual on a meth fueled psychotic trip. Do you really think thats a fair thing to pin on someone who may very well be experiencing a manic event??

Its possible this was a drug induced psychotic break. But I would prefer giving the man the benefit of the doubt in that perhaps he was experiencing a manic event. This is not a smear, it is an attempt to reorient conversation away from damning judgment on a man that might be experiencing an episode of mania associated with BPD I.

I suggest you too, read "Touched with Fire" by Kay Redfield Jamison, and/or "An Unquiet Mind".

Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony

WRONG, war-criminal and not lord. A lord is someone who in my mind would only do good and receive respect from those he or she would lead. How can someone engaged in war crimes EVER receive my respect.

Hello folks, it is unfortunate that this person had a meltdown. This should also give one pause to understand the nature of the 2012 Kony propaganda. This has always been about oil. Kony 2012 was designed to gather support so that the military Africom unit could go in to central Africa and secure the oil resources for the Oil cartels. Enclosed is an article that came out a few years back stating that the largest inland oil find in Africa is in Uganda. Right now France, China, Russia and the U.S. are competing for this oil.

Fresh Uganda Oil Find ‘Africa’s Biggest’

By The Times

14 Jan 2009 "The Times" - -Heritage Oil announced details of a large oil discovery in Uganda yesterday, which the company claimed could be the largest onshore discovery in sub-Saharan Africa.

Heritage said that its latest discovery – Giraffe1 – in the Lake Albert region, could total at least 400 million barrels of oil.

However, Paul Atherton, chief financial officer, told The Times that the wider field it was developing, dubbed Buffalo-Giraffe, had several “billions of barrels of oil in place”, although it was unclear how much of this would be recoverable.

He said that the field, which is 9,000 square kilometers in size – or six times the size of Greater London – was unquestionably the largest onshore discovery made in sub-Saharan Africa in at least 20 years, possibly ever.

Mr Atherton said that of the 18 wells the company had drilled in the basin so far, all had produced oil. “Clearly the entire basin is full of oil,” he said. “It’s a world-class discovery, the most exciting new basin in Africa in decades.”

Previously, the largest onshore fields discovered in sub-Saharan Africa were at Rabi-Kounga in Gabon, where 900 million barrels were found in 1985, and at Kome in Chad, where 485 million barrels were found in 1977.

Mr Atherton said that it would take at least another three years to start commercial production. The crude could be exported by road or rail, he said, but analysts believe that the most practical solution would be to build an 806-mile pipeline to take it to Kampala, Uganda’s capital, and then the Kenyan coast. The pipeline would need to be heated and designed to traverse swampy and mountainous land. It would cost an estimated $1.5 billion (£1 billion) to complete.

Heritage and its partner Tullow Oil, which also has a 50 per cent equity stake in the project, would need to demonstrate that the field could produce at least 400 million barrels of oil to justify the cost of building such a pipeline. Richard Griffith, an Evolution Securities analyst, said the latest discovery “thrashed” this commerciality threshold.

See Also - Uganda : Pressure Mounts To Make Public Oil Agreements:Uganda's oil discovery is already attracting major players like Italian oil giant Eni Spa, U.S. Exxon Mobil, France's Total and of recent the China National Offshore Oil Company. The country does not have the funds to finance the production of oil and instead signed agreements with oil giants spelling out how the revenue will be shared with investors willing to fund the production phase. The companies will build an oil refinery in Uganda and an oil pipeline to the Indian Ocean. This will enable the landlocked country to sell its estimated two billion barrels of crude oil internationally

Uganda's oil contracts leaked - a bad deal made worse: The repeated claims by the Ugandan government and the oil companies that Uganda has received a very good deal and the best in the region are not only a fiction, but were reliant on the real terms of the contracts being kept secret. While the contracts will deliver vast profits to Tullow Oil and Heritage Oil, the contracts will prevent the Ugandan people from receiving their due benefits.

Oil extraction and the potential for domestic instability in Uganda: The paper identifies and discusses in detail three sources of domestic volatility that may arise as a result of oil development.

Uganda: Oil could cause war : The attacks are by armed gangs suspected to be rebels of the FDLR, LRA, and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). In the ongoing campaign in DR Congo, President Joseph Kabila is being criticised for failing to restore peace in this vital area.

Thanks for your well searched info.

It would not surprise me if the guy had been drugged!

Yes, there are people in power who would not like to see us the people be the master of our own destiny, us the people be able see through our politicians, us the people be able to make a sense of what is going on in this world.

There are those who do not want you and me to know more than what is necessary. They know our habits, our knowledge of the world (which is not much), our way of thinking (which is limited to the box), what makes us angry and what makes us happy, satisfied, scared... They do that through the movies we watch, through the series, documentaries... They've made us a nation of fat assess and lazy butts. They want us to let them to think for us, as long as we let them to reap us!

They don't want us to read and learn, they will do it for you!

Please, it's not about oil. Everything everywhere is about oil to some people.

Well, this is about a young man who has a form of mental illness. He shows strong signs of bipolar episodes or, possibly, some type of personality disorder. He is well-intentioned, but was unprepared for criticism of what he thought would be a universally acceptable goal of ending terrible atrocities against children and families.

With treatment he can get manage this illness and continue his work. I'd be willing to bet most of the people laughing about his misfortune had no more comprehension of what was taking place in Uganda than they have of astrophysics. At least Jason Russell has raised the international consciousness of Kony's despicable actions and gotten the conversation started.

How many of you would have the guts to walk out of a hospital with your heads held high after an incident like this? I certainly hope he does. Mental illness should not be shameful. Anyone who callously treats this man's misfortune at the publicity surrounding his breakdown should be ashamed.

Srengthinnumberrs.

No one makes ANY diagnosis WITHOUt SEEING the person or knowing ANYTHING about the person and you did that. And in doing so you brought up bipolar. you also did not mention ANY incidents that any bipolar person has done that equal taking off their clothes on a busy street and acting like an ape. That is not the manic behavior associated w/ bipolar.

It is however associated with OTHER mental illnesses but you sure as heck did NOT bring them up.

you are a quack who smeared bipolar disorder. nothing more dangerous than an arm chair '"doctor"

"....Kony 2012 is a corporate-style PR and psy-ops campaign, a cynical hoax engineered to justify US and Western military intervention to control the incredibly lucrative oil, mineral, water and strategic resources of the heart of Africa."

Social Media Scam Alert: Top Ten Ways to Tell Kony is Phony

Wed, 03/14/2012 - 10:44 — Bruce A. Dixon

by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

Thanks to relentless promotion by corporate media, government, celebrities and politicians of both corporate parties, along with right wing church groups and foundations, the Kony 2012 video has “gone viral.” Viewed on YouTube more than a hundred million times by now, it paints a vivid and simple picture, clear enough, its narrator says, for a five year old. But is it real, or is it propaganda, and for what purpose?

Joseph Kony, the Invisible Children YouTube video tells us, is a bad guy in Uganda. He's a lawless warlord leading something called the Lord's Resistance Army, which kidnaps, enslaves and murders innocent children by the tens of thousands. We're never told exactly why, as corporate media simply paint Africa as a hellish and inexplicable place where things like that just happen. The Ugandan government, the video tells us, would gladly shut Joseph Kony down and bring him to justice if only the US would provide the advanced weapons, sophisticated tracking gear, military training and the boots on the ground to help get it done. To make this happen, all that Kony 2012's promoters ask of us is to help spread “awareness” of Uganda's “invisible” child soldiers by facebooking, tweeting and repeating the Kony 2012 video, and by emailing influential politicians and the one-name celebrities like Oprah, Bono, Rhianna, Cosby and Lady Gaga (OK, Lady Gaga is two names) to whom they listen. The Kony 2012 video aims to bring this criminal child-enslaving Ugandan warlord to justice by enlisting tens of millions of us little people in making Kony's name an odious household word around the planet, after which Washington DC will stretch forth its military arm to bring Joseph Kony, alive if possible, before the International Criminal Court for trial and punishment.

Almost everything is wrong with this simple picture, from the missing histories and the hidden motives of storytellers and players to false statements of processes and problems real and unreal on both sides of the Atlantic. In fact, Kony 2012 is not a search for justice. Kony 2012 is a corporate-style PR and psy-ops campaign, a cynical hoax engineered to justify US and Western military intervention to control the incredibly lucrative oil, mineral, water and strategic resources of the heart of Africa. The kind of social media activism the video promotes is calculated to make Americans feel good about themselves for "spreading awareness" of child soldiering when they're really spreading racist ignorance and disinformation, building a disinformed public consent for ongoing, open and direct, as opposed to covert and indirect US military intervention in Africa. "Don't study history" the video's makers tell us --- "make history!" But the history that a lied to and disinformed public makes is bound to not be pretty.

Black Agenda Report is far from the first or the only news source to point that Kony 2012 is a warmongering hoax, and we certainly won't be the last. As our contribution, we here offer our top ten reasons why Kony is phony.

Reason #10: Invisible Children is funded by a core of notorious right wing donors including the Discovery Institute, which Bruce Wilson fingered in a March 11 Talk 2 Action piece as the leading funder of efforts to promote the replacement of biological sciences in schools with “intelligent design,”along with the Caster Foundation and the National Christian Foundation, all prominent backers of anti-gay referenda, politicians and initiatives in the United States and around the world. The Ugandan regime of Yoweri Museveni is a favorite of theirs for having passed legislation making it a criminal offense to be gay, punishable by a life sentence. Credible African journalists like Keith Harmon Snow have also alleged that Invisible Children’s white and male leaders have direct personal connections to US intelligence agencies….

Wow. So many theories from so many people. Bipolar, schizophrenia, right-wing Christian, hopped up on meth, vast right or left wing conspiracy, an on and on and on. Perhaps the dude just went out and got drunk and decided to clean his pipe. Drunk people do stupid and crazy things. It is, however, reassuring to know that when I do something stupid and crazy, everyone will do their level best to find a medical, psychological, emotional, economical, or societal issue to blame so that I will not be responsible.

This is wonderful what they are doing good luck. My only question is this guy is married?

Oh my Lord! Please do not allow our media to misdirect our minds like this. Now you see the invisible children again? They are what is important! This guy will be fine I am sure - whatever the root of his episode was. It does not matter where we get our information - as long as it is TRUE. Knowledge is power so let's use this new knowledge to help these kids who are being forced into prostitution and slavery. Hey, maybe that was his spiritual way of saying "See my children now WORLD!" Call it "body language".

donn - when you do something stupid and crazy, everyone who does know you WILL do their level best to find a reason - finding a reason does not equal placing blame, and it does not equal seeking a reason for abrogation. It does however equal the human tendency to want to understand so they can make informed decisions going forward, on how to help, or how to punish. and donn - you can bet if you reach celebrity status, the discussion of any odd behavior will go beyond friends and family and into the mainstream media. Thats just how it works. This is a place for discussion. No discussion, no forum. THATS a no-brainer.

and rich, who made a diagnosis? I don't have any medical pad here - I am making assumptions. And assumptions only make asses out of you and me if we act on them. No actions here - just discussion. Diagnosis... get real.

I could bring up several episodes of mania that I have personal knowledge of, but quite frankly, thats not anyone's business except family and practitioners.

Manic episodes dont fit one particular pattern. Theres the stereotypical gambling spree, sexual indiscretions (and masturbation in public is sure as heck one of those), and the shopping spree - but theres all KINDS of manifestations, as varied as personalities are. But one thing they all have in common, is the average person walking down the street is likely to notice that something aint quite right!

one last thing - Im finished arguing my point with you. Feel free to lambaste me and everyone else for daring to bring up bipolar as though it is the "illness that must not be mentioned".

Glad you haven't had manic events that have been so bad that you didn't even remember what you did -

I have, but those are called dissociative episodes, not manic.

And Rich was not saying it shouldn't be mentioned, he was saying people should not go around assuming someone is bipolar with an incident like this.

Theres the stereotypical gambling spree, sexual indiscretions

Hypersexuality and public masturbation are entirely different behaviors and not even comparable.

TrustVerify

You are totally full of it.

Never mind that male children are being forced into being a soldier, that female children are being forced into being sex slaves, that the parents of these children are being murdered, with the women being raped before being killed. I guess you would say that same garbage about Sam Childers (aka Machine Gun Preacher) who has been doing Christian Charity work with Sudanese orphans since 1992. Yep, everything done by Americans outside of North America concerning any other country is because of and based on the greed for oil. Can't stand people who can only see one color, hear one language, and think inside one box.

ArchStanton

Same reply to you. Oh and please tell Sam Childers and his family that Joseph Kony doesn't exist. And tell it to Interpol too, seems they're looking for him also.

Anyone who thinks that this whole Africa-humanitarian mission is not about consolidating control of natural resources is completely and hopelessly snowed. Joseph Kony DOES exist. He has been non-communicado since 2006 and is definitely NOT in Uganda, according t all I've read so far.

It is funny that there is so much outrage about the issue of Uganda violation of human rights all of a sudden... Where was all the outrage over Idi Amin. No. No outrage. Anybody remember Jack Abramoff and the Reagan admin. inspired freedom fighters against communism. We, the United States were SUPPORTING these anti-human agendas.

Seriously , a lot of bi polar people, when in a manic episode, after not eating or sleeping well, undress in public, try to stop traffic, etc. I don't know what it is, maybe invincibility or feeling strong or something. But lots of bipolar and /schizoaffective people do strip and go into traffic. My ex, was a long distance truck driver, and when he would drive, he wouldn't stop to eat, or sleep. And within days, he would be in a full blown manic psychotic episode. He didn't undress, thankfully, but he believed he was being followed by the government because he was bionic. Hope he gets the help he needs.

To all who keep using the word "fraud". I would really REALLY love to know, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FACTS? Is this an assumption of yours, something you read in the papers, did a friend tell you this? Why does every thing good have to morph into something evil. Can't we EVER just see something for what it is, in it's purest form? It's called HUMANITY! Here we have someone going to great lengths to make a POSITIVE change in the world, something that 9 out of 10 of us couldn't fathom, and instead of joining in to help the cause or, gee I don't know, give him a pat on the back for showing such compassion and actually doing something about it, we all just sit safely behind our computers and just blog a bunch of nonsensical crap because it makes us feel so good to tear others down. It makes us feel so uneasy to think there's actually someone out there, or something, that wants to better the world, and not just for money. So we just can't believe it. We have to write mean remarks and join in the name calling because that's what makes us happy. Being mean. Having no faith in humanity. Hope I never have a cure for cancer, that would just make me the devil now wouldn't it!

Thank you Jason Russell for trying to change our world for the better. You deserve great things in life and PLEASE DON'T LET THESE NEGATIVE, MISERABLE, HATEFUL, ASSUMING BEFORE THEY KNOW THE FACTS, NINCANPOOPS GET YOU DOWN!

no good deed goes unpunished

Dear Famous Ainus,

Don't let the facts about Uganda, Joseph Kony, and the "Invisible Children" so-called charity get in the way of your feel-good propaganda.

There is nothing hateful about telling the truth about the world powers' agenda on the African continent, and guess what, there is nothing "humanitarian" about the neo-colonialist consolidation of natural resources. Or had you simply not heard about Africa before watching a propaganda film carefully designed to sway the opinions of gullible Amerikans? The "legitimate" government of Uganda is just as terrible. Furthermore, what is it you really think that NATO is going to do there; not murder and rape? (because that would REALLY be something new)...

As for Jason Russell, who effing cares.

Call me immature, but the only thing I got out of this thread was:

SpaceCowboy-3351158

It sounds like he was on Meth. Dehydrated,malnutrition,exhaustion, Public wienie wacking.

I'm still giggling at wienie wacking.

LOL that video is so funny!

Can I get a refund though? Seriously, I made a donation to this a$$*&%# cause...

If I did not know this guy was KooKoo For Coco Puffs, I would say the guy in the TMZ vid ... it's soo cute, he reminds me of toddler babies when they are happy and have no inhibitions. It's kinda ... sweet.

He's out there at that intersection, flashing his Kony Dogg, doing his gay cheerleader moves BWAAAhahahaha it's great somebody caught it on video for TMZ to show it. I would expect Barney Fife or Billy Bush Access Hollywood or Michael Stipe to be seen strutting nekkid... but THIS documentary filmmaker? Naww....

Richardharrow & G_Reaper, funny stuff !

Another Pee Wee Herman ....

Huh? Pee-Wee was masturbating in an ADULT theater. No kids or general public (who weren't wanting to watch porn) were there. Those Fla. cops were just A-holes looking to bust anyone they could for anything. This guy was naked and violent outside in the open. Totally different.

He was just trying to put up another Kony poster and just ran out of adhesive...

he gave himself a standing ovation...and a hand...no applause sign needed...

perhaps that was his BEST work :-)

Well, i don't know he seems to have his hands full

Seen him at a gay bar once, he's a great dancer....mmmhmmm.

What good work? All he did was prove he has a video camera and a lot of free time. I'm not going to believe that this nut case somehow opened up a story that none of the best news agencies in the world could. I am 100% confident this Kony guy doesn't exist, and have been since I saw that poorly written video.

Have you ever taken a history class COF???? I learned about this guy 3 years ago via my history class in high school....And just because they didn't get a lot of people to send them money, doesn't mean they didn't get people involved, people are broke right now(most people any way) so we have to make do by making our stuff to help the cause. I'm saving up to buy a shrinky-dinks kit so I can make my own bracelets, and my friend and a group she got together are making hand drawn signs to put up around their town on April 20th. And by the way, the "poor" quality of the video writing might be caused by the fact that this guy made it himself and he probably didn't have enough to pay for some one to write it for him like some lazy tv people do.

Well, the LRA really exists and the story has been out there in legitimate sources for a long time, but wasn't sensationalized because it wasn't out there posted as a movie on the Internet until this guy, apparently, and now he had people at least talking about it. But now they'll mostly be talking about him, and just as many concluded years ago that PewWee's Playhouse couldn't possibly be a good show, after all the guy who made it was a pervert, now many will think that this doesn't need to be dealt with in any way, after all the guy making all of the fuss about it is a perv ...

In November 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush personally signed the directive to the United States Africa Command to provide assistance financially and logistically to the Ugandan government during the unsuccessful Garamba Offensive, code-named Operation Lightning Thunder. No US troops were directly involved, but 17 US advisers and analysts provided intelligence, equipment, and fuel to Ugandan military counterparts. The offensive pushed Kony from his jungle camp, but he was not captured. One hundred children were rescued.

Wow Cat, do you know anything about the world at all? This has been going on for a long time over there. They make movies about it. TV shows make episodes about it. It's not a secret. And he didn't 'open up' any story it's been reported before. Just not on Youtube.

just because the guy is a freak doesnt mean that the things in the video arent true or any less important that would be like someone who promotes freedom in a country that has civil rights issues got caught having sex with a dog doesnt make that countries civil rights issues less important

Well, good point I guess. I think I'll hold out for more information on this one. Why would someone who needs a good public image go out and humiliate himself in public, with a bunch of pointless petty crimes? It seems so random! I don't know, I just have trouble believing it.

It may not make the things in the film not true but it certainly makes you rethink a choice of donating money towards the organization.

Its unbelievable how uninformed people are of what is actually happening with Kony and the LRA. Kony is no longer in Uganda. The Ugandan people have pushed him out. He was a dark part of history until this Kony 2012 BS came up and thrust this maniacal monster back into the spotlight. Not to mention many of the points made in Kony 2012 are highly debatable and some are borderline lies.

If you want to help the victims of Kony and the LRA, there are much better non-profits to donate to. Invisible Children Inc only donates about 30% of the proceeds to actual people. The rest is used for salaries, travel and production costs for their movies. Check out their BBB rating. They haven't even divulged enough information for the Better Business Bureau and Charity Navigator to be able to clear them as a proper charity.

Smashing cars while polishing his knob...nice!

@derpy the 2nd.

Your right but ppl are idiots and bad news travels fast. It doesnt make the things in the video not true or less important but this ruins him and that whole charity. And your also wrong cause if Martin Luther King would have butt f***ed some puppy or pulled his c**k out in public at the height of his popularity the Civil Rights movement would have been just as important but it definitely would have been hurt by it severely

Smashing cars while polishing his knob...nice!

Well, it's always best to keep both hands busy. At home, he probably had his TV remote in his other hand. In his car, all he could find was a jack-handle. So, he put it to work...

Son-Of-Anubis

Smashing cars while polishing his knob...nice!

that could be impressive... depending on what he was using to smash the cars...

Who is protecting the children that this weirdo is purported to be helping. If it is true that he was caught in Balboa Park then that is sick. This location is known as the fruit loop and is where runaway children go to make money servicing pigs.

There were a number of charities out in the '90s helping the Kony victims. These guys created this charity for, I suspect, some other end - money, fame, etc, etc. Kony was being helped by Sudan all along - he was nothing more than a tool to de-stabilize Ethiopia. To call Kony a pig would be insulting pigs!!!

Ryan charity navigator scores on a 0 to 4 scale o being bad 4 being good they have a three so far but I do think a independent analysis of funds is needed.

Railing the atrocities of Kony, yet he himself is a choker and a spanker...HYPOCRITE!

Wow, I love how you all assume that the only way to help the cause is to give people money. I'm not giving them any money, cuz I'm broke, but I'm still going to get the word out by making my own bracelets to give away for free. This shouldn't be about money, this is about helping people.

Try to be shocked when the tox screen comes back and law enforcement discovers that he was slipped some pharma. His little movie and the resulting movement has to be screwing with some very powerful people's revenue streams.

Probably this guy's main problem with a monster killing little children is that he was eliminating so many future "friends" that he was intending to make soon ...

RLquall so are you saying hes a pedophile now im fairly sure that wasnt in the story at all is that what you took from it?

What was he thinking when he decided to "spank the monkey" in a public place?? I have serious doubts this guy Jason is mentally fit to engage in a campaign so big. Kony 2012 is a scam and people should think twice before pledging money to a sexually dysfunctional individual. C' mon dude you have a wife who can meet your sexual needs.

ahill1125---I admire you for your devotion. However, you should know that it is always about the money. Always. Always..

I guess you know now!

And knowing is half the battle. G.I. JOE!

It seems more than probable that he possibly mistook his hand for a female reproductive organ and was simply trying to get to the next step on his goal to have 23 more children!!!

What, mean to tell me that your hand never, ever looked like that to you?

It's something that some guy with too much free time and a video camera made up because I guess he figured creating one villain would help get people to rally around an equally horrible villain.

Which in his defense the Republicans and Democrats have been doing that for quite some time with a lot of success.

I found it funny that those who watched the KONY2012 video suddenly became social activists.

Another reason why the video was made was so that the US Government wouldn't withdraw the military advisers that are over in Uganda right now, but supposedly, the government never intended to call the advisers back soon.

Honestly, the US shouldn't get involved in hunting Kony, since we don't even know if he's alive. It's bad how people live in constant war in Africa, I get it. Should we really be putting ourselves in the middle of all of it? If Invisible Children wants to catch Kony, then why don't THEY go and look for him themselves? With all the money they make, I'm sure they'd have no problem catching him.

Says you. He was putting on a show.

And they planted that wiener in his hand just for good measure

agreed

Yes, they took him out on the town, got him liquored up, and inserted a "crazy drug" suppository!

Hey, did you hear there's a sale on aluminum foil this week? The extra thick shiny kind.

When u are that high profile u cannot do anything or put yourself in such an awkward position to mess up. The sligthtest trangression will screw u and this is more thant a slight transgression. I sure hope its not true. But if it is all i can say is WTF dude? U just ruined everything your charity is workin for by whippin your c**k out in public.

Tinfoil hat: shiny side OUT

Good for them!

Doug, man, I'm still laughin'. Too funny dude.

Get a friggin' grip! No one drugged this guy! He's mentally unstable like all so-called Christians. That's why they have to go around bragging that they're Christians. Who in their right mind needs to say what most of society already is. Who isn't a Christian? That's the real question. He's a nut with his in his hands. Good God almighty, doin' it in public. No we know what he likes to do when inhibitions cut loose.

And knowing is half the battle. G.I. JOE!

Actually, that was his friend's wiener, he was just holding it for him and has no idea how it got there!

Sad thing is that it is. WTF? Im speechless

What goals? How does watching a video REALLY help?
Is Kony the worst thing in the world, and how many more of our US troops should be out there trying to find him?

It's similar to "forward this if you like cute kittens" (with the implied threat that if you do not, you hate kittens).

What a cock-up

It educates people who rely on forms of social media to get by in the world.

Well, before "Arab Spring", I'd have said that they would hardly be the ones who would change it. Now, who knows?

Calm down Papa. Obama is the FONY. Ron Paul 2012!

Onefungi, LOL :)

Honestly -- count on right-wing loons to take a story like this, and turn it into something political and completely unrelated. Hey guys -- what's your zip-code in Whackjob City?

they are the same, what a ticket

Maybe, just possibly, he is not the wonderful person you think he is. Maybe he is a person who does stupid and crazy things when he gets drunk. It is not unheard of.

Why would we want their natural resources? We won't even go after our own! ABO!

what do you mean, Mikey? Oil drilling is UP from the Bush years.....and read what was just opened up in Utah's Uinta Basin.

Those who listen only to Fox, get schooled.

"Why would we want their natural resources? We won't even go after our own! ABO!"

It's called, why use ours, when we can take and use their's!

sorry but if masturbating makes you untrustworthy then you your husband and your kids are all untrustable as well as your neighbors your kids teachers your own parents everyone pretty much sometimes you just gotta rub one out im not gonna say ive never done it in public ive rubed one out in class before when i was in highschool and im sure im not the only one

C'mon man. We are not talkin about jerkin it in private. We are talking about whippin your c**k out in public. That not only makes you untrustworthy but a weird a**hole

derpy......since when is it okay to do IT in public even when NOT vandalizing cars? And doing it in class STILL isn't appropriate just because YOU did it and maybe some others have. Sorry.

derpy, you go boy. But change your name to drippy the 2nd. JK, LOL

Derpy Lol. That is what the school bathrooms are for.

This man is a pervert! No one chokes their chicken on the STREET! C'mon people, how many men do you see jerkin off in the middle of the street. I'll bet his neighbors have the FOR SALE signs out already. Except maybe that guy Ravi who's got his video cam out smiling!

it was really easy all i did was point it down my pants let and tap my foot really fast i tap my feet all the time anyway so nobody had a clue plus it didnt hurt that the girl in front of me was really hot soooo you know boys will be boys

And I bet your family was saying all the time how you learned NOTHING in high school ...

highschool was a joke i did what i had to get by then i @!$%#edd off all day with my friends most of the time when we had homework i had it done by the end of class and i even took algebra 2 as an elective but i didnt do anything in there except act out and have fun because it was an elective and nobody knew why i took it as an elective and that was so i could distract all the other kids and make them have trouble and also because our teacher was a total tw@ bag and i hated her

Derpy sounds like such a nice guy - a fine example of today's young men. eek!

Tommy Boy - he only has two kids - is it wrong to say he wants 9 more kids? This isn't China. I've got one and want a couple more, but I'm 46 and can't afford them, so it ain't happening. He has been with his wife for 23 years - do the math - he is not having 9 more kids (with her anyway). If he can take care of them (mental instability aside), why do you care?

sshhh. You'll jinx George.

Clooney got arrested today...

Say how much he worries about all of the poor of the world after seeing his big Italian villa, which would feed entire villages. Somehow the rich who admit that they are really in it for what's in it for them strike me as better, or at least less hypocritical.

Rlquall, get a clue! Do you know how many millions George donates to causes like this? Do you think someone else is paying him to fly himself and camera crews across the world putting himself in harms way to bring attention to these atrocities? You obviously seem to think he's in it for some sort of personal gain. What could he possibly gain? Fame? Seriously? There are few people in this world more famous than him! His wealth and his fame are exactly what allow him to help give to, and bring attention to this and other worthy causes. He's not a monk! He doesn't need to take a vow of poverty to care about his fellow man or speak out against crimes against humanity.

That being said, I know little about this Mr. Russel, but I seriously doubt he was running in the streets whacking off. I think it's much more likely that was just an exageration of the events from someone immediately thinking "PERVERT" because they saw a man running around in his underwear. People have nervous breakdowns all the time, people with less stress and under less scrutiny, as well as people under an even brighter spotlight than him. It does not mean they are psychotic, or evil, or perverted or any better or worse than anyone else. The man was temporarily detained by the police, not arrested, so although obviously distraught, he commited no crime.

Most of all, lets not forget what this is all about! This video is not a solution to the problem, nor was it meant to be. At was to bring this man Kony to the attention of as many citizens of the world as possible. It was a social experiment in a sense, to see if the the internet could be used as a means bring this Kony and his crimes to the attention of millions as effectively as, for example, SNL's Dick in a Box Skit". No offense Justin, love ya! It was basicly a test to see if a viral video can bring, or at least ensite a "100 million strong" cry for International Justice. I also don't believe Mr. Russel ever claimed that donations to his organization were to hire an army, or form an escape effort, or for doctors or teachers or anything like that to aid or solve this problem. My impression was that my donation would help this campaign. Most likely help funding the cost of making the millions of KONY 2012 Kits for the big evening, next month. The point of this all is to convince our world leaders to take action, search out this villian and bring him to justice. It's much more difficult for them to put this on the back burner when 80.2 million (present count of hits) world citizens demand action. Not to mention how much easier it will be to ferret him out when 80.2 million world citizens now know his face. So, before you star criticizing Russell, or Clooney, I think you better ask yourself, "Are you doing your part"? Because, your part, costs nothing. Sharing the video, telling a friend. You can even make up your own KONY 2012 Materials to help paper the world April 20th. Try asking "How can I" somtime instead of "How dare they". It'll do wonders for those nasty little lines above your brow, and it might even help another person.
