Kony 2012???

What happened to taking down Joseph Kony? I remember there were about five minutes back in February when killing Kony was going to be the big thing of 2012. Mankind's next big achievement, like a collective New Year's resolution. Now he seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth again which makes me wonder whether the internet is really the platform we should be using to draw attention to him. I realise the idea was to spread the word like a bushfire and get global support against him, but like all memes he seems to have worn his welcome and been shunted aside for the next thing. That's right, I'm calling Kony and his career in kidnapping children and murdering people a meme. Because in the end that's all this amounted to. He's on the same level as Keyboard Cat and Sneezing Panda and fucking Slenderman. He was a bit of a Facebook fad at best. I thought you guys wanted to make him famous. What happened?
