Tourist Paradise: Creating awareness that tourism supports regimes

An issue that most vacationers don’t have in mind, is that their tourism indirectly finance the human right violations of the regimes they travel to.

This game reminds a younger demographic (online gamers) of this fact to hopefully learn how to reduce or avoid filling the coffers of dictatorships and how to support human rights. Play it here.

For the Love of Beer: Donating Carbs to Americans

Just found this website from Australia for Toohey’s Beer.

The idea is quite funny: Since Toohey’s only has 1/3 of the carbs, why not donate the other 2/3 to the people who love them the most: Americans. The website looks like a relief effort where you can pitch in and deliver carbs to a bunch of different US cities by flying a plane over google maps satellite photos and dropping the carbohydrate cargo.

I like this idea, because it is fun to make fun of Americans, but I wish the game was more fun and a bit more engaging. Also, I think a highscore ranking would do well in getting people to sign-up.
