You know as much as this picture is mocking bandwagon jumping on the Internet... I mean people can watch a 30 second video and suddenly think they're an activist, sure. It's still pretty awesome how quickly issues can be raised and popularized on the Internet. Sure it's bandwagon jumping in a lot of cases, but honestly I think it's a significantly better way to raise awareness than the people you see on the side of the streets that just want a minute of your time in the middle of winter when you're just trying to walk past them and get to class on time.
This is so funny because you can never really predict what will be the next big issue in the future. The KONY 2012 "bandwagon" saw many supporters in the form of Social Networks such as Twitter and Facebook but a majority did not really know the underlying issue they are supporting!
