The creator of the “KONY 2012” YouTube
phenomenon Jason Russell has once again hit headlines this time in an
apparently not so honorable way. As soon as I saw the title “Kony filmmaker held for public masturbation” I immediately questioned the
legitimacy of this. I continued reading the article and found this particular
statement quite interesting "Officers responded to a radio call to check the welfare of an
individual who was said to be running in the street, interfering with traffic,
screaming; one person said that he was naked and masturbating," she said.” One person… one person said he
was masturbating and suddenly when you type in Kony 2012 into Google you will
find its no longer about the efforts to stop the war criminal and help the
invisible children, it’s about Jason Russell masturbating. The head of the
invisible children Ben Keesey stated that the emotional journey of the previous
weeks for Russell had taken its toll and resulted in this ‘unfortunate incident’.
I mean sure, its going to be frowned upon being naked in public, but if Jason
Russell had done this 3 weeks ago, people may have looked twice, but it
certainly would not of made headlines.
