Playing Games With The Hungry

After only one month online, an internet word game has generated enough rice to feed 50,000 people for one day. The game, called FreeRice, tests the vocabulary of participants. For each click on a correct answer, the website donates money to buy 10 grains of rice.

In the interests of Karma protection, the Dude is posting the link to the site HERE.

Now for the ugly part: Toshiba, Radisson, Apple, Amex, Macy's, Office Depot, Time/Life-- quit playing games with the needy! For once, donate some fucking money without expecting advertising exposure in exchange!

FreeRice is the invention of US online fundraising pioneer John Breen.
