Gangnam (flappy) Style (horsey Korean pop-star), and Kony 2012 was flappy bullshit activist.

They could have spent just a little time to understand their non-technical landscape prior to showing off technically and crying to reddit Kony 2012-style.

But of course they don't, because some people apparently need a monthly Paula Deen or Kony or #CancelColbert controversy to serve as their moral compass.

Some of it is also memetic: a couple of decades ago Tibet was the cause celebre, after that it was Darfur and recall Kony 2012.

I'm sorry, but no amount of Kony 2012-ing is going to fix this problem.

But to use even a ridiculous example of such, like the Kony memes of 2012, you can see what I'm talking about.

The US government wasn't a friend of Kony in 2012.

I set a low bar of evidence that we should at least pass before we Kony up over our bowl of Cheerios.

Uganda had to ask the US for jet fuel to be able to pursue Kony and his LRA, where are they going to get the money for new planes?

You may not be Joseph Kony or Kim Jong-Un, but you are contributing just as much to the fear and hopelessness on Earth by becoming a part of it.

I also stopped Joseph Kony and brought about marriage equality.

When someone brings up Nestle and a vague issue with water, you know they are Reddit-educated due to their repeated nonsensical laser focus on one thing much like Kony 2012.

An example: for all its flaws, that infamous "Kony 2012" video went uberviral.

More wisdom from the "Talent Management Secrets of Joseph Kony."

If Ubuntu Edge, a phone that's arguably incredibly important for OEMs (because it'll update the product lines and factories) couldn't get made how in the world does this guy think that a campaign with a couple million "likes" will have any effect, it's very reminiscent of the whole "Kony 2012" campaign that kinda died after February.

But if they were random, now the universe knows about twibbons and Kony.

The only outliers I can think of are obviously-reviled figures like Joe Kony, Cecil Rhodes or Adolph H., who should probably get condemned above the fold for the courtesy of the reader.

I'll just have to go back to advising audiences that changing their Facebook profile picture on a regular basis will help cure cancer, prevent child abuse, catch Kony, and either impeach or re-elect President Obama (I'm never quite sure which).
