Show Notes
Somewhere in between Gangnam Style and Susan Boyle singing Les Mis, a different kind of video went viral on YouTube; a heart wrenching 30 minute documentary about a Ugandan warlord named Joseph Kony. This week AJL is raising awareness about Kony 2012, the internet’s biggest slacktivist movement, and the strange media flurry that followed it. Also we talk about emissions so much on this one— I mean Jesus Christ it’s disgusting.
