Facebook's viral activism is really good... for admen

There's hope for the teenagers, yet...

My niece falls in that teenage/young adult demographic being targeted by the video, but she has also been to Uganda doing voluntary work this past year. It is interesting and heartening to see her speaking out and urging her friends to do some simple research, rather than just having a knee-jerk like-and-repost reaction. Her admonishment that "Google is your friend!" carries its own baggage, I grant you, but then again hers is also a message well-targeted to her fellow teenagers: if you're going to be lazy and get your information from the internet, at least try to get multiple sources.
