I don't think the click-for-rice business is cruel or cynical. It is an awareness-raising and "teambuilding" exercise. Sponsors are the ones exposing themselves to the cost of the donations ... it's perfectly reasonable that they'd make their donations proportional to how many people cared. Or m0ore accurately raised their hands when asked if they cared.
Sure, the cos could donate behind closed doors. And most do. But this is a very good way to make the avg. geek think outside the cubicle ... even for a second ... at no personal cost. I prefer this to those 2-minute commercials with hungry kids and some facelifted celeb any day of the week.
