Where's Kony?

Stop Kony has been a huge Internet phenomenon, the biggest I can think of since Beyonce's and Jay Z's baby pictures. Will the end result be the same as every other social media change - A few updated Facebook profile pictures and a brief time in Twitter's top trends?


Or will Kony2012 be the first campaign to actually get people off their iPhones and laptops, and do something more than changing their Facebook status to say that they will do something? I doubt it. As with all Internet calls to arms, this one has been most highly received by school kids and university kids. Not really game changers...

So can Kony keep his Internet infamy up? Or will it all stop before he can be... stopped? Surely no one can keep Snooki's pregnancy down for too long? One quick look around online, and its not looking good for Kony, but he's working hard to stay relevant...

Twitter
Out trended by Carrie Underwood. Kony is going to have to audition for American Idol if he wants enduring fame.


You Tube
After realising he can't sing, the enigmatic Kony has turned Ugandan Hardstyle DJ. But not even that can make a real life warlord more interesting than a SUPER Pirate Battle Royale!


Facebook
After giving up on his own talents, Kony is now masquerading as REAL jungle warrior Carl Weathers from Predator to stay famous.  And he has many fooled... 


Tumblr
Ouch! Kony has become the butt of jokes. Is this his final slide into yesterday's news, or can he use it to hang on to fame? It's worked ok for the Hoff and Chuck Norris...



Poor old Kony, looks like his 15 minutes online could be up already. He should take it from someone who knows, Internet fame is fleeting...
