Before "Kony 2012", The Creator Of That Movement Put Out Maybe The Worst Video In The History Of The Internet

I think this is the single most absurd and embarrassing video in the history of the internet and that is saying something because the guy who created and starred in this video and created the "Kony 2012" movement also has this video of him walking around the sidewalk in San Diego ass naked on tmz

I kept trying to decide if the dance video was a joke/parody and it just went over my head, but I don't think it is. I don't think you can simultaneously make your entire life about raising awareness about a Warlord in Africa forcing children to murder their parents and turning them into child soldiers while AND make a joke video about it. Which means those guys sat there, brain stormed, story-boarded, filmed, edited, and watched that video and then looked around the room and said "Yep! Fucking nailed it! Tanner...hit publish".

The whole thing was like "Beast of No Nation" meets "Glee" meets "The Nightman Cometh" and it is horrifying and hilarious. Especially with the benefit of hindsight, but it was definitely funny in real time.

I really do feel like this might've been when internet 1.0 died. These idiots killed the good internet era for good with their bullshit. We talked about the entire Kony 2012 story on dogwalk today and if you didn't live through it and or you don't remember it fully (and how could you) click the link below
