Jason Russell, the filmmaker behind the mega-viral "Kony 2012" documentary, was detained in San Diego on Thursday night, NBC reported, citing the San Diego Police Department.

Russell, 33, "was taken into custody after he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something," NBC's San Diego affiliate reported, citing San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown.

The San Diego Police Department's Brown did not immediately return two messages left Friday from Yahoo News.

The co-founder of the San Diego-based advocacy group Invisible Children was detained on San Diego's Pacific Beach "acting very strange" the NBC report said.

Russell's 30-minute documentary on Ugandan guerrilla leader Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army became a surprise mega viral hit, receiving over 80 million viewers since its release last week. But the film has also kicked up a backlash of criticism against the group, ranging from how Invisible Children spends its finances to whether it cut corners with the facts in order to create a more compelling film about a more than two-decade old Central African conflict.

But Invisible Children has also found many prominent defenders of its work, from members of Congress to President Barack Obama, who sent 100 U.S. special forces to Uganda last fall to search for Kony.

"I think that these guys are getting mercilessly picked apart by a bunch of intellectual elites who spend their days tweeting but never trending," Cameron Hudson, former Bush White House Africa hand, told Yahoo News last week. "If their aim is to raise awareness, they have done that in spades."

hmmmm, i saw the crazy video on TV. Jerking off in public . All in a bid to gain public attention or really under the influence of something, abi J. Kony don jazz am from him hideout ? .

The girls of Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach, San Diego wear tiny string bikinis, and have just amazing bodies toned in gyms, so the sight of them is enough for any man to think about jerking off, though I usually wait till I get home ha ha.

If this film-maker had to choke the lizard over the sight of girls in bikinis at Pacific Beach, then he would have clean lost his mind if he ever went ten miles north on Interstate 5, and took the exit for Blacks Beach, where groups of those smokin' hot UCSD girls drop ALL clothing to lay out and get an all-over tan.

Lord have mercy. I get a woodie just thinking about the jiggly wonders of Blacks Beach.
