Kony Creator Running Naked on the Streets

     In this week's Los Angeles Times , an article named "'Kony' Creator Jason Russell Exhausted, Dehydrated Wife Says" is attracting much attention. "Kony" was a movie created by Russell that depicted the massacres going on in Uganda. During the first week that the video was posted through the social media sites, over a million views were seen. In this way, the video has been very viral and has been spread even through a lot of Europe. Now that there are critisisms surrounding the video doubting its legitimacy, some people like Russell are taking it to heart.
     Since Russell spent most of his adult life concerned with such human rights issues and working with "Invisible Children" which he created, he takes the video quite personally. Therefore, when he heard these critisisms, he must have become unstable mentally and physically, because it caused him to take off his underwear and run around his neighborhood naked. Witnesses say that he was pumping his fists in the air, screaming. He was later hospitalised, and his wife told reporters that he was.dehydrated, exhausted, and malnutrished. All these factors with the main vause, the cririsms on the video, caused a man to go running naked on the street. Surprising how aomeone can spend most of their life working on a serious project, finally get everyone's attention and respect, then blow off their entire reputation by not being able to handle a few critisisms.
