UN Video Game - “Food Force”
One has to wonder how much money the UN spent on this.
A video game which aims to teach children about global hunger has been released by the United Nations.
Food Force is the brainchild of the World Food Programme (WFP), which last year fed more than 100 million people.The UN body seeks to capitalise on the popularity of video games to educate youngsters about hunger and the work of the aid agency.
Written for the PC and Mac, the free game is aimed at eight to 13-year-olds for download at www.food-force.com.
Riding Sun notes that the game is 227 MB to download, and makes a great comparison between bloated file sizes and the UN beauracracy. He also profiles one of the characters. Check it out.

Doesn’t sound any sillier than spending, say, tens of millions to teach kids not to have sex. :)

Speaking about ‘using the medium that reaches the audience….”

Now here is an online video game made for our US Army. Instead of developing empathy for famin riddled nations in our children. This teaches them how to do the ‘bribing and raping of locals’ of those who live in those famin riddled nations.
Don’t you all wish that Republicans could find better ways to prosper rather than on the pain and suffering of those less fortunate.
Don’t you wish that war was only a US military game without real casualities.
The UN is not the problem………… The US is.
