FreeRice.com / Digital Manipulation/Technologies

Began with Tiffany's Media Minute

FreeRice.com
does it REALLY donate 10 grains of rice per right answer?
Snoopes says so. Can we still trust that?

Could we incorporate this into our schools?

Advertisers get their exposure and the money is in-turn given to a greater cause.

How does it really track your rice count? Don't you need an account to "cash in" your rice?

Brainwashing us to think that we need to appreciate this advertising?

Media Minute 2

"Prince Harry Nude Photo Scandal "Could Get Worse"
A: I'm not going to show those"
B: Aww
Everyone: LOL

How would these scandals have been different before mass media?
