What did you think of the video? Do you think Jason was drunk, on drugs, exhausted, dehydrated, or just crazy, and why? Do you still believe the Kony 2012 movement to be legit, or do you now have doubts? Why? Do you think Jason Russell keeps too much of the money others donate to Invisible Children? Why or why not?

I think the media shouldn’t care about this so much. He was probably on drugs who knows but if he’s famous for doing good keep him publicized as doing good. I think he shouldn’t keep any of the money because people donate the money for the cause not him. I’m not quite sure about the video its probably real and we should still try to help and follow with our cause. Ill this being famous stuff is probably just overwhelming him and he just went crazy but I don’t know why he would be running around naked.
I think the video was weird. I think Jason was exhausted and dehydrated. I still believe the Kony 2012 movement. No, I don't think Jason Russell keeps too much of the money that other people donates to the Invisible Children. Honestly I really don't know why.

I'm not really sure what to believe if his wife or girlfriend or whoever said that he has never had a drinking problem or a substance problem then that's what I believe. The reason is because what would be the point in lying he has already embarrassed himself on television. That being said even though this does make you look at him a different way, that doesn't mean that the movement itself should be doubted. He should give up some more money though in my opinion. To me, everyone has their downfall at some point and I think this was his and I believe he will learn from this and grow and be better once again.

I think the video was really shocking.I really don know what to think Jason,because it could have been all those thing.Yes I still believe the Kony 2012 movement to be legit.I am not really sure why Jason Russell keeps the money others donate to Invisible Children.However I know I wouldnt keep none of it no matter what.
I was surprised to see him acting like that. I think he was just under a lot of stress and pressure with all that's going on and he had a breakdown. I think the Kony 2012 is still a good cause and a good purpose. Invisible Children is how he helps all these kids so no I don't think he keeps to much you can never keep to much money if it's helping people
This is one of the worst things that could have happened to him in regards to his movement. He will sadly lose a lot of his supporters. Because most people don't like to be associated with a leader who would do something like this even if it was a one time break down. I think he probably was driven a little crazy, I mean being a leader of a growing group is stressful. The movement is still legitimate you can't stop a movement like this if only one person loses it even if it was the leader. I can't say if he's taking money from the donations because I don't know the amount of money that has been donated.

I really dont understand why people that are famous think their life is so hard and so stressful. Your famous! enjoy the good life while the rest of us normal people work for a living. But hey good for him, but seriously what happened with the running around naked ? Just a little strange. And yeah, it wouldnt surprise me if he was taking money from the donations givin to Kony 2012.
There's no reason for the media to care about this. I get the point where he was out in public, but he also is trying to stop "Kony 2012" so I don't think they should put this all out. I think maybe he was just crazy, because his wife said he wasn't on drugs. I personally think he shouldn't keep none of the money donated only because, it's going to children that need it.
That's crazy, I'm not sure whats wrong with him. When the Kony 2012 movie came out I definitely believed it because I never thought that someone would try to fake it and make a bunch of people feel horrible, just for money. After I watched the video with that girl from Uganda saying it all wasn't true. I don't know what he does with the money but if all the stuff in the movie is over with, why is their money being raised for something that is over?

I did not expect Jason Russell to appear naked on television, especially so soon after his video on Kony went viral. Russell doesn't seem to be someone who would get himself into drugs, mainly because he is very directed in his work and has a lot to fight for. He might have had a mental breakdown from all of the stress, whether it be the scrutinization from the Kony 2012 video, or as they said his new found popularity. He seems very into his cause, but I feel that a part of it might be fame- driven, because, even under extreme pressure, people don't generally argue with themselve naked on a sidewalk. I feel that Russell does what he can for his charity, because what others give in money, he gives in publicity. He personally made the cause a "big" thing, providing for more people to donate. So, in reality, he lead to more money than any one else.
The video to me had no purpose why would he go out like that!? To be honest I don't know what was wrong with him at that moment. I still believe that it is real. Because if he wasn't drunk or anything else maybe he did this to get more follers and help for the Kony 2012.
I think this video is weird. I do not know what was wrong with him but clearly it was something that caused him to act this way. I do believe the Kony 2012 movement to be legit. I know that it has gotten a lot of publicity especially on Twitter. I cannot say whether or not Jason Russell in my opinion keeps a majority of the money donated to this charity by others. I would hope that he's not another one of those people that set up charities just to receive the funds for their own personal advancements.

I can't believe the maker of the Kony2012 video is going wild. Holy crap! I think he's starting to go crazy over the whole idea that he has started a movement for a good cause. I still think Kony2012 is legit, because Kony is still the world's number one most wanted criminal. I don't think he keeps money that is donated to the Kony stuff, because it's for a good cause.
I think mabye he was drunk and crazy. I think the Kony 2012 movement is legit.
I thought the video was weird. I really can't think of anything else thats actually reasonable ,but that he was exhausted. Yes, I think it is legit.No, cause he hasn't used it for anything other than the videos and the products.
Its not real. If it was real, Yea he was pretty drunk.
It was strange. I can't say what he was on, but something was wrong with him.

I think that that's crazy. How could he go from the way he was in the Kony video to acting that way. I don't know him so I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for him. He may have been drunk or on some kind of drug. I didn't even know that he kept any of the money.
I'm surprised that he would do this when he was doing so much and being successful. He looked crazy but I'm not sure why he's acting out of the norm. I think Kony 2012 will still be legit, because of all the people aware, everyone's not just going to stop supporting. I think and hope the money he makes, is going toward the Kony 2012 makes of the things and to send people over.

I think that it would be kind of awkward walking down the street seing him walking down the street naked. Even though they said drugs or alcohol wasn't involved I believe that it was. I mean really, exhausted or dehydrated? I believe that the Kony 2012 movement might get hurt because of the act he did. -Josh Cutchins
All I can say about this video is wow! I think he may have just been soooo stressed and exhausted. Yes, I still believe that the Kony 2012 is still legit. I don't know what to say about the question of him keeping any of the money.
I believe he may have been either drunk or on drugs.I still believe it's legit, although it does make you wonder. I believe he may have been taking the money from the foundation to cure his addictions. ZACH CAHALAN
I think he was drunk, on drugs, or something. I still think Kony 2012 video is still legit. This thing is major and he sounds like he really wants to help. I don't think he keeps the money. I think he actually does donate it to the children.
I Dont know what was really wrong with him . It makes me upset that he done something this stupid . People and even celebrities was starting to get active with this kony 2012 act .
I think he was crazy. I believe that Kony 2012 is still legit.

I think this video is very awkward. I think Jason was just exhausted from his job and all the stress got to him and made him go crazy. I still think that the Kony 2012 movement is still legit and I want Kony to be stop so that other children can be safe. I think that Jason Russell really does donate most or all of his money to the Invisible Children fund because this is just the 1st outcast, it is not like he is know for doing crazy things like this.
I hope this doesn't ruin everything for Invisible Children. He looks like he was extremely stressed out or going through something traumatic. Nobody knows what was going on but his family, and honestly, it isn't anyone's business but his family. I think the Kony 2012 movement shouldn't be effected by this video. I don't know how the donated money is used or anything so I really can't say if he keeps too much. Those children need to be saved and a video shouldn't stop that from happening at all.
I think this video is crazy. I do have some doubts because of what he done. I think is was drunk but I not sure. I don't understand why he would do this and he had a good thing going about Kony 201. Now I think it going to take more time to catch Kony.
I feel bad for him. I think he was under alot of stress and maybe he was drunk. I don't think he would have done that out of the middle of nowhere. This may be a serious blow to the Kony 2012 movement. I hope he doesn't pocket the money that people donate because that would definitely slow down the Kony 2012 movement which is a good movement. For that to come to a hault would be tragic.
Chris Stepp
I thought the video was very surprising. I really this Jason is crazy because he is under a lot of pressure. I'm not sure I hope it is legit because those kids do not deserve that life. He might I can't really say because I never really looked upon the effects of the movement.
