Yeah. I found this on youTube just now. Initially, I was just searching for random things when I came across this video to be an “Official Rescuer” for Invisible Children movement thats all the trend right now. This video (the one I linked) scares me a little. It makes it seem like a pyramid scheme- like a step-by-step guide on how to sell holiday cards door to door. The fact that they’ve garnered enough followers to their cause, as of now 1,148 video responses, each begging a celebrity to join them, in hopes that the celebrity would have searched their own name and see the video before April 25, 2009… seems farfetched. 

This reminds me of those GreenPeace kids outside my school, ready to accost me with tales of the low state of the environment, ready to take my credit card information. They ask me, “Do you care about the environment?” and then they laugh when I say very seriously, “No, I don’t.” Then they giggle. Sorry, that really wasn’t a joke.

Anyway, the ‘Invisible Children’ thing is good cause, I guess- but I’m not sure this brass tactic is effective. It’s awkward and a little scary to see children my age begging celebrities for their endorsement or donation of time; isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?

Also, if you’re going to link your video under the tag, “Lonely Island” please make it just as awesome as the videos that are actually about The Lonely Island. I thought this video was funny, but then I started to feel sorry for myself. Not to be mean, but is the kind of kids that get in to NYU? Maybe I should apply next semester and transfer. Even though this video made me cringe, it gives me hope that I can get accepted to NYU and not have stupid, measly “University of Hawaii at Manoa” on my diploma!
