Everybody lies

Regular readers of my blog will probably be aware of the fact that I am not the world’s biggest humanitarian. Quite the contrary, to be honest.

So, when I read about this site over at Sandier Pastures I  checked it out less in the hopes of actually helping to feed the hungry (a premise of the site which I’m too cynic to believe in  anyway), but mostly just for the fun of finding a new game.

And what do you know: it really is fun. Especially if you are not a native speaker of english, it is a great way to broaden your vocabulary. But even for native speakers I would bet that they have some words there that you have never heard before. Ever.

So, at the very least you can while away the time in an entertaining and educating way there. And – my cynicism hardly allows me to add this – maybe you actually do some good with your playing. Even though in their FAQ section they say that the rice is paid for by the advertisements you see on the site (I have to take that on belief, because I don’t see any thanks to my AdBlocker), it sounds too goody-goody for me to actually believe it. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if somebody just got a new idea to rip gullible people off with this. Who can prove that the money generated by these ads really does get invested in rice after all?

But, hey, I don’t care one way or the other. If you do, you are free to believe whatever makes you feel all tingly and warm inside. I’m gonna go and have some fun in any case.
