Just because something/someone is successful, doesn't mean they're right. 

But at the same time, gloating, or ridiculing humanitarian assistance in general are counter-productive reactions.

On the reception of Kony2012 in Uganda: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/kony-2012-disappoints-ugandan-audience-public-screening-lira-article-1.1039291
A really striking quote from one of the angry viewers: "We wanted to see how our local people were killed, but this is all white men!"

The TYT video on the reaction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hYVpohdXDk&list=UU1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ&index=5&feature=plcp

Another indication of Invisible Children's dislike of feedback is the disabling of comments on their YT-uploaded video that can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc&list=UUTfiNvrrwuhJjyGuUjH_kEg&feature=plcp
They seem to have tried their best to not give critical voices a fair hearing.

And yes, I did just get out of the shower. Extra bad hair day for the fail.
