time to bring back humanity to those people he has affected, for to class him as a human and a christian is extremely wide of the mark, he is an abomination to the human race.
While Yes, its a good thing to bring these kind of people onto mainstream media so the public is aware and force the goverments to act, the group Innnocent Children is a bit of a scam.
THey raised nearly $9million last year, and only about 35% actually got sent to Africa. The rest ended up being spent on advertising (of which they pretty much do all the shooting, so they are paying themselves extra), travel & accom, and just into the guys' pockets.
Quite a good video. Liked the FB page, posted the video on my Facebook account.
Good to see something being done
Thats an interesting read. Certainly enough there to raise questions which required further investigation.
I think its a good example to show how we all need to be responsible in how we react to what are often emotionally driven campaigns. The idea expressed is a good one, the organisation driving it might not be quite what it seems.
I can't quite explain it, but the video makes me feel uncomfortable. There's something about the way it's presented that doesn't sit right with me. It seems too well produced (I'm really hoping someone can relate to what I mean because I can't explain it).
I have to also admit, I really don't like how people seem to pat themselves on the back for watching a video or liking a facebook page (or joining a group, whatever). You've literally done nothing. You've formed an emotional opinion on a piece specifically designed to cause an emotional response.
I don't like it at all.

People like the feeling they've done something good but don't like the effort required to actually do something good. This is the same reason "OMG Never open a message saying greetingz!!!! Your computer will explode, killing you and everyone around you!!!!!!!!111111" emails keep getting spread.
"In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship."
I'd never heard of this charity before this video and I really liked the idea. Some peoples concerns about it do seem genuine. Here's their response to the criticism; http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisibl...critiques.html Which I have to admit seems as genuine as the complaints. Only ting I can say is make your own decisions, it's your time and money, these people did. Unless you've done nothing but pat yourself on the back of course or sat their scoffing at others while doing even less yourself, which seems to be just as common.
Regardless of that I still love the idea; this man should be world famous, world hated and hunted down using any and all military force available, something me and Mr Oyston obviously disagree on, yes he has child bodyguards but by sparing them you condemn thousands more, I don't think it's as clear cut as he thinks. Every day this man is free more little girls get raped and more little boys murdered.
When this ones dead and captured we start on number 2 simple as that for me.
If you don't want to give them money, just nick their idea and spend your time and money elsewhere or if you agree with the campaign but not how their running it, just donate time that way you know where every second went.
