As soon as they started lobbying US gov. officials to send military support I became very suspicious. They seem to have conveniently skipped over the UN, which is the legitimate <em>international</em> organization for these situations and who are already involved in fighting against children being used as soldiers in Africa and all over the world. Also the celebritization of it, Clooney and links to send messages to Ben Affleck and JZ etc is threatening to make this campaign another fluffy trend.
The cause, as everyone agrees in principle and rhetoric, is exceedingly important and relevant. But personally it REEKS of opportunistic, corporate style marketing.

"awareness"
are y'all awareness motherfuckers for real? How long have you been aware of the plight of Afghani children and when exactly did you begin giving a fuck about them?
What this video proves is that if you can take a highly complex issue that journalists and serious NGOs have been covering for years and completely dumb it the fuck down with adspeak and Gen Y bullshit, you can make Justin Bieber tweet about it.

I'm still patiently awaiting the public admission connected to Thursday's scene that the whole thing is a sham. No updates since then? :(
