End hunger in a video game:

Not all video games are horrible. Just try out the simulation called Food Force, in which players take on six missions to help feed millions of hungry people in a place called Sheylan in the Indian Ocean. 

The game, freely downloadable off of Yahoo, was created by, of all groups, the United Nations. The UN has a sub-organization called the World Food Programme (WFP) whose mission is “halving the proportion of hungry people in the world.” The game is mostly educational, representing to players what the day to day tasks of the WFP are: from determining a what a balanced diet for the people of Sheylan would be to figuring out they best way to distribute aid. No guns, no shooting, but there are a few helicopter rides.

Already on sale in the UK, the device has now gone one sale to North Americans keen to really ‘feel’ the music, movies or even video games…

Dubbed the “music-activated orgasm machine”, the iBuzz connects to an iPod or any other digital music player, using its audio output to drive a vibrating bullet. The pack contains a set of his’n'hers spikey latex sleeves for “extra excitement”.
