However, using unknowledgeable sources such as MU freshman Lauren Haden to offer critiques on the Invisible Children organization is a waste of paper and ink. Only six days after being uploaded to YouTube, [the latest video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc) by Invisible Children has already reached more than 71 million views! Another issue I have with Ms. Haden’s statement is the accusation that Invisible Children “twists conflict to make it more marketable.” Invisible Children attempted to explain the on-going conflict in a way that could be easily understood, but a 26-year conflict cannot be explained in its entirety in a half-hour film. The goal of the film was simply to gain widespread attention and benefit the cause of Invisible Children. The fact that Invisible Children is not a non-profit organization does not mean that their cause is unworthy or their efforts dishonest.
