KONY 2012

Invisible children is a non-profit organization that aims to bring awareness to the activities of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Central Africa. It was founded in 2004 and up until recently, their campaign for KONY 2012 went viral. KONY 2012 was created to promote the movement to

 The film's purpose is to promote the charity's "Stop Kony" movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony globally known in order to have him arrested by December 2012, the time when the campaign expires. KONY 2012 was released on the 5^th of March 2012 and has reached 89 million views in a little over 2 months. If that’s not awesome I don’t know what is.

After the sudden fame, the corporation then created the event ‘Cover the Night’. This was made to further expose Joseph Kony to the world. ‘Cover the Night’ involved people going around the city at night putting posters of KONY 2012 all over the city so that in the morning when people wake up, they will see the posters everywhere.

Before the actual event however, stress struck the co-founder of invisible children Jason Russell which was the main character in the KONY 2012 video. He was recorded by TMZ, having a very public meltdown on the streets of San Diego. (Warning: This video is explicit, Parental Discretion Is Advised)

This severely damaged the reputation of ‘Invisible Children’. According to Jason’s wife, he was not under the influence of any drug, but was having a breakdown due to the negative attention and personal criticism KONY2012 film has generated. Due to that break down, the KONY2012 campaign have slowly diminished out of societies sight.

Star Wars Kid

Who knows what this Canadian kid was thinking when he decided to make this video but it certainly has caused controversy.

In November 2002 Ghyslain Raza made this video of himself swinging a golf ball retriever around imitating a Star Wars- like battle pretending to be Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode 1.

The video was found by four of Ghyslain's classmates, they started to leak the video, it went viral and he was ridiculed and harassed for it. This video has become one of the most popular viral videos of all times as it is one of the first cautionary tales in the debate about privacy on the internet.

Ghyslain was so ridiculed for his activities in the video that he slipped into depression and had to take time off from school to seek psychiatric care. His family sued the families of the classmates who leaked the video for $250,000, then settled out of court.
The video still remains popular today with still large numbers of viewers, over 25 million to date, and numerous parodies have been created.

In the recording, Chenoweth asked Williams to demonstrate his voice, Williams improvising a masterful radio station promotion this lead on to brief interview where Williams elaborates on his education and early career of a radio presenter that led to being homeless after drug an alcohol abuse.
