So, it seems the director of Kony 2012 (see my entry from March 10) has been arrested. Yup! Jason Russell was busted in San Diego and sent to a Pysch ward after..get ready for it..(allgedly) getting stoned, and then naked in the street.
Seems he was "under the influence" of something when he ran into the street in a Speedo, then pulled off the Speedo and supposedly started stroking the salami! Well, to quote the report I saw, he made "sexual gestures".
A statement from his "Invisible Children" group says he's been "suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition". Bullshit. He's probably "suffering" from partying too hard with Hollywood "celebs" after his new-found fame.
A release from the "charity's" CEO goes on to say "the past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident". Can anyone say major damage control? Maybe spinning this a little to try and lessen the potential impact?
O-kay, maybe I'm being a little harsh.........Maybe not.
I said back in my original post that I thought the video (what I managed to watch anyway) was self-serving, and I stand by that comment. This incident simply re-inforces my view, especially since he's had an offer to SELL the video to some lord high mucky-muck producer.
Hope you enjoyed your 2 weeks of fame Jason! Most of us don't even get the 15 minutes. And as for your campaign to get Kony..well, the jury's out on that.
'Nuff said.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy, and are maybe infuriated by, my somewhat irreverent take on world news and events, and the people who make and shape them. I hope we can share a laugh, and maybe provoke a thought, about what's happening "out there".
