Re: Water for life
Yeh , fair enough. Good cause, no outlay, and theyll give a charitable donation just for looking at the site.
Cant find a fault with that really.

Re: Water for life
For cheap, harsh comedy akin to drowning poor black babies, try the "take this question to earn an extra click" and get it wrong.

Re: Water for life
I actually tried to answer it seriously and got it wrong anyway.
Farewell unknown African person, it was nice knowing that I indirectly contributed to your death.
You even get a black person with a sad face holding a giant board with a diagonal white cross on it. ffs.

Re: Water for life
Well I imagine the answer to any question is the one that is worst for the black children.
IE if it's a "how many negroes die every day?" or a "how well off are white people?" question it is the highest and if it is a "how much water do blacks get?" or "how many white people have ever helped a negro?" it's the lowest.

Re: Water for life
In a marketing sense that site is absolute genius for the company who sponsered it (i must remember that tactic).

Re: Water for life
This is almost certainly nonsense, anyone with even the slightest idea about the internet would know that this is likely to end up costing them millions of pounds if it were done seriously.

because this way they get to advertise the fact that they are really nice people who want to help others, which in turn they hope will up their sales
Its a cynical ploy really but i will keep clicking to keep helping with the donations

You have condemned her to die. All you had to do was read the site for the relevant information.
You MURDERED her.
