The KONY/Jason Russell debacle

I know I'm not saying anything that tons of people haven't already thought, but this whole mess seems like a shining example of how dangerous the repressive forces of evangelical Christianity can be.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I had no idea he was an evangelical Christian. Is his sexuality in question because, you know...

His wife has said he just had a complete mental break.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

The newest video makes him look like one of the Priscilla boys. Not that that's a bad thing. Unless you're a repressed, closeted Evangelical hypocrite. Then it's a bad thing.

I happen to know a few repressed closeted Evangelicals. They are a very sad and emotionally tortured breed. I feel very sorry for them.

I didn't know he was evangelical either, but holy crap what a nut case.

ETA: just rewatched that video with sound. He's a total Mary.

Give him a curly perm and a pink satin pair of gym shorts, and he could be Richard Simmons really gay little brother!

Major evangelical Christian. Even had talks at Liberty University about how to sell your group to people not down with the Jesus. Charlie Brooker really did a fine job cutting into what Invisible Children is all about.

And then there are these videos that are supposed to connect with high school students. Supposed to.

Jason Russell went to USC and has a degree in film so I guess he used that knowledge to make these vanity projects that vaguely talk about his cause.

Wait. Sorry. What? I haven't closely followed this Kony thing as it went viral, but I caught about 3 minutes of a recent interview he did with CNN, and I just assumed he was gay -- I mean, like, openly gay -- and went on my own gay way. I had no idea he was a closeted Evangelical. (Which is what he is.)

He has 2 kids and wants 9 more.

Russell is also described as a Christian and father to two children who wants to have nine more children with his wife he calls his "best friend for over 23 years."

I tried to follow the KONY story, but got completely confused and lost. Every story was so convoluted, I felt like it needed to come with a Power Point presentation and a laser pointer.

I'm glad Jason Russell is in the media, though, because a few weeks ago I taught my brother the expression "gay face" and now I have an absolutely perfect example!

He's hot. I wanna see the uncensored version of his breakdown. I never watched the KONY video. I thought it was a facebook virus, like the sneaker ads.

He is hot. It's really sad.

The whole situation is sad, but it's really sad about him being hot.

This is all getting just too surreal. Now he's a show queen?

And I had to rewind to be sure I heard this correctly:

"The point is we can have fun while we end genocide"

I wonder if he was inspired by The Book Of Mormon?

He did seem to reference a musical 'about genocide' vaguely referencing The Book of Mormon (warlords in Uganda and all that fun stuff that gets a chuckle from the moderator).

After watching some of his videos, it is pretty clear he is into um... theater.

Calling it now: South Park is gonna have an episode about him.

I love South Park, but at this point satirizing Russell is like picking low hanging fruit.

The thing is, psychotic break, drug use, or whatever, that kind of language doesn't just roll off the tongue if you aren't used to saying it. "F*ck that sh*t!" with a snap and a circle, doesn't just HAPPEN. This dude is used to behaving like this.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
