Naah, corporations are good. If you go to http://www.thegapsite.com for
instance, you can click on a button and, through corporate sponsorship,
allow one child in Indonesia to take a ten-minute break from sweatshop
labor.

I do think thehungersite.com works, though. Now I'm off to write a
hunger-fighting bot that will click the page from different IP addresses
for me...
