Let me clear this up for you:
Of the $8.9 million in donations they spent in 2011, this is the breakdown:
- $1.7 million in US employee salaries
- $357,000 in Film costs
- $850,000 in Production costs
- $751,000 in Computer equipment
- $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists)
- $1.07 million in travel expenses
- $400,000 in yearly office rent in downtown San Diego
- $16,000 in Entertainment
- etc...
Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan bureaucracy) - what do the children actually get?
This "Invisible children"-organization is like any other charity group: they take more than they give. So if you still don't get it, you should probably give all your money to the campaign and live with your stupidity forever after.
Sincerely, your inner voice of sanity.
