I am on to you you sick son of a bitch.
[quote]Actor Carl Weathers has been mistaken for Ugandan warlord at large Joseph Kony.
Some users on social networking site Facebook have mistaken a picture of Weathers from his role as CIA agent George Dillon in the 1987 science fiction action film "Predator," as a picture of Joseph Kony.
Weathers is a former professional football star who made his transition into film in the 1970's. He is best known for his role as Apollo Creed staring alongside Sylvester Stallone in the "Rocky" film series.
Kony, a Ugandan African warlord who is the head of the notoriously brutal Lord's Resistance Army, has captured widespread headlines in the past week following the launch of Invisible Children's "KONY 2012" campaign.
Invisible Children has launched its campaign in hopes to mobilize international pressure to capture Kony and dismantle his much-weakened LRA.The LRA has had an active presence in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic, but left Uganda years ago.
The campaign video went viral last week and within six days broke the record to become the most viewed viral video of all time.
Critics have blasted the organization arguing that its portrayal of Kony's LRA is simplistic and lacks necessary historical and geopolitical narrative.
"Joseph Kony is not in Uganda and hasn't been for 6 years," former Foreign Policy intern and Ph.D student at Oxford Michael Wilkerson wrote on a Foreign Policy blog last week.
"The LRA now numbers at most in the hundreds, and while it is still causing immense suffering, it is unclear how millions of well-meaning but misinformed people are going to help deal with the more complicated reality," he added.
Invisible Children has responded to criticism of its organization, financial transparency, and awareness raising methods and with a video released on Monday featuring CEO Ben Keesey.
"When we launched KONY 2012, our intention was to share the story of Joseph Kony with new people around the world, but in the process there have been a lot of questions about us," Keesey says in the video. "Our goal has always been the same, it's always been one thing and that is to stop the violence of the LRA permanently and help restore the war-affected communities."[/quote]
Yeah saw this on a few sites a few days ago and found it hilarious, thought I posted it but apparently not. A tad old but I did not see it here. Sorry if it is already reported.

KONY 2012
Holy shit, people actually think Carl Weathers is Joseph Kony? People are this stupid?

Their thought process seems to be this:
Black guy + jungle = Kony.
This is actually a cancerous troll attempt that I think originated from reddit (don't quote me on that).
It's actually quite funny to see how blatantly people will call you a bad person if you simply upload the picture from predator to facebook and say something like "I support what this man does"
And in turn you can call them racists for thinking all black people look the same :v:

Not stupid, just ignorant of good movies.

I remember seeing this small social experiment by a college professor to see if everyone believes what they see on the internet.
[URL="http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/"]They actually believed it too :/[/URL] even after he said it was fake people still bought the obviously fake story.
you gotta admit, its the same pose, facial hair, clothing, setting, and skin color. it might as well have been intentional
also not everyone knows who carl weathers is
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.
I think that the Kony 2012 thing is somewhat of a scam (and the Russel guy prancing around naked seems quite attention-whoreish), but people still need to recognize that Kony is a terrible person.
He's not at large, so we can focus on other things, but don't sign him off.

They donated to Invisible Children, and those guys then used it for drugs and naked jerk offs
yes
I hear Carl Weathers gives acting classes for $1100.
