Yeah, not a great weekend for Jason Russell. The Invisible Children founder spent Saturday and Sunday in a psych ward after being picked up by San Diego cops for stripping off and masturbating in traffic. But in our utter delight, let us not forget the real reason to dislike Jason Russell: because he squandered millions of dollars of charitable donations stroking his ego in incredibly extravagant videos.

Case in point: a promo video the Internet has dubbed “Invisible Children: The Musical“. In 2006, long before KONY 2012 shone a scrutinizing spotlight on Russell’s non-profit organization, he dreamt up the Global Night Commute, an event that asked youths to sleep in city parks to show support for at-risk Ugandan children. To raise interest, Invisible Children shot a video they’re so proud, that when the English TV show “10 O’Clock Live” poked fun at it last week, they immediately yanked it from their Vimeo and Youtube accounts. Luckily, someone saved a copy. And man, is it ever the worst thing.

The video begins with an emotional appeal from an actual Ugandan child, who tears up and asks the audience to “remember about us.” Fuck this boring shit! Where the white people at? Luckily, just as I was about to give up and go watch “2 Broke Girls,” Jason and his well-tweezed cohorts appear, speaking to a high school assembly. But the youths soon turn on our heroes, uninspired by mere words and atrocities. Invisible Children huddle!

“They’re ADD high school kids,” says one about the demographic they’re trying to court. “Then let’s give ’em what they want.” A more cogent analysis of the complex geo-political issues? Nah, fool. Funky fresh dance moves!

Yep, an *NSYNC-style number is sure to spur these dumbass kids into action. But still, they sit in stony silence, so *NVISIBLECHILDREN does the only reasonable thing they can. They fly through the air and use superpowers.

Then – oh, God – there’s singing. But we’re talking about children who are being enslaved and mutilated en masse, so Russell and company stay respectful. Oh, of course they don’t.

“We’re on a mission, put Uganda deep inside your mind /
It needs attention and a dance to make it sparkle and shine
(They’re in bad times)
We got to shake it up and break it up /
We’ll end a war without a gun
(We’re not qualified)
We need to congregate and demonstrate /
So one day we can celebrate”

Finally, after much more popping and – yes – locking, the rest of the young people have seen enough. Thanks to a barely-tuneful song that even the dumbest Gleek would wipe their pre-teen ass with, their gnat-like brains are ready to change the world! They take to the streets, recruiting new members to their cause through the power of dance. Finally, they “congregate and demonstrate” at a city intersection where they prove that – Jesus, I gotta drop that train of thought, because this just looks atrociously expensive.

Now to the casual observer, it may seem like the founders of Invisible Children have wasted a massive amount of money to indulge their desire to star in a pop music video. But the ends justify the means. And in this case, the only means available just happened to be a goofy li’l vid like you might have made in high school. Just… infinity times more costly. Why, for the tens of thousands of dollars this musical took to shoot, an entire platoon of the Ugandan army could have looted and raped for three months! Shame on you, Jason Russell.

I guess if Russell is looking for a silver lining to his naked, drugged-up pud-pulling spree, it’s that Invisible Children: The Musical is no longer the most embarrassing video he has online. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta get me some of that “exhaustion” he was on. That’s when you put coke in a joint, right?
