1 Quick Question -

if this is being run by the U.N., based in New York City, why is the registrant
for this website (the owner of the domain name) in Indiana? From WHOIS:

Registrant:
Hunger Site (THEHUNGERSITE2-DOM)
PO Box 1490
Bloomington, IN 47402 US

Also, why would the UN, a non-profit organization, use .com in their domain?

Finally, why would corporations "require" something as inane as a button click
from complete strangers to ratify their charitable donation? In fact, that idea
is SOOO screwy because any junior high student could rig a brower to repeatedly
click that button 1000 times a minute by destroying whatever "cookie" or other
tracking mechanism the "charity" has to limit people to one click a day...

Sounds like "another" Internet hoax!
