I would just like to point out my extreme contempt towards Invisible Children. What a load of scam. They spend the majority of the money they receive on themselves. Only 10% of the money actually makes it to Uganda, and even then, Uganda's corrupted government gets its greedy hands on that. Invisible Children spends more money on MARKETING than it does "building schools." They are just a big marketing company, not a charity. This video they made back when the Chase fund thing was going on is what really got me disliking IC. They used half of that money on themselves. On a tour and a movie. That money could have gone to much better things. Eh, idk. I've researched it. They're full of misinformation. Your money greatly benefits the filmmakers, and benefits the people of Uganda hardly at all. If you are going to donate to any charity, donate to the Red Cross. At least they actually help people.
We were talking about it in Art today. It's called "Invisible" children because the kids they help don't even exist. They sell those expensive ass t-shirts (90% of that money they keep for themselves, of course), and claim they were made by people over in Africa. I think they mean sweatshops. Yeah, they've got sweatshops. And they had their shit set up in the lobby like it was a concert merch booth. They had a bag for $85. Who do they think they are? This is a high school. These are high school students. In a small town in Dickson, TN. Nobody walks around with that much money in their pocket unless they are dealing drugs. And in that case, they don't want your stupid bag.
