I do. It was exposed for the shameless scam that it was and sure enough, the guy behind it turned out to be a freak.

@Itsprincess: Yep. The majority of the funds made from contributions to that supposed cause went to Invisible Children, the company that made the film.

@Itsprincess: My bad. On doing some research instead he had a psychotic episode and was detained. His named is Jason Russell.

[quote]On March 15, 2012, at the height of the Kony 2012 video's viral popularity, San Diego police detained Russell for psychiatric evaluation during a public breakdown that was filmed and released online. In the video, a naked man alleged to be Russell, is seen hitting the ground, yelling and vandalizing cars.[22]
Russell was subsequently hospitalized for several weeks. A statement by his family said the preliminary diagnosis was "brief reactive psychosis, an acute state brought on by extreme exhaustion, stress and dehydration," as a result of the popularity of the campaign. The Hollywood Reporter described it as an "out of body experience". Russell, in an interview, said "that's not who I am".[/quote]-wikipedia
