I'd masturbate in public, too if I just scammed a whole nation of rich, ignorant kids.

In the last two weeks, this guy has done more to inspire cynicism and a general mistrust of philanthropy than the Red Cross, (PRODUCT) RED, and Yele combined.
This is just disgusting on every level.
How many people who contributed are really going to think, "next time, I need to do more research and be less impulsive" and how many are going to think, "that's the last time I ever donate to charity"?
If this guy took your money, that's one thing - but don't let him take your courage and your compassion. Don't let him convince you that you can't make a difference, that caring about others is a weakness rather than a strength.

But this type of corruption and whatnot makes it hard not to. The people who claim to "Offer a helping hand to those in need" and playing the role of the middle man between you and the cause make it hard for the outsiders looking in to trust the entire situation. I know for a fact it makes it harder for me to trust a person or "organization" who have "intentions" on helping out the lives of others who are less fortunate.
This guy is a disgust. And it make it worse, he used his own CHILD as bait. He used a young boy from Africa as bait, and a whole country as bait to lure people into buying his story.
Like, how do you trust people after that?
Sometimes I feel like I'd rather give my money to the homeless on the street or donate clothes to the Salvation Army to help those who live in my own country before I trust some stranger who "claims" they are going to take my money and put it to good use. I'd rather hand my money over personally, but knowing that in some cases its not that easy pushes me away even more because I don't trust that the people I'm handing my money over to will put it where it truly needs to be.

I don't think it will diminish anyone's goodwill. Hopefully it will just teach people who are naive to be more careful.
People are impulsive and quick to jump on bandwagons with everything. Witness how people have turned on Obama for no real good reason, for example.
If this scam can at least teach people to think more independently, it'll do more to improve the world than any amount of money that Kony 2012 could raise.
edit: Why do all the other videos from "invisible children" only have like 2000 views? Even illest gets 100k+ on nearly every video he has.
