We Can Make A Difference

Filed under: Inspiration

An observant reader alerted us of the following amazing fact:

"Wow Perez…I have to hand it to you…Just mentioning a worthy cause on your site can do amazing thigs. I was curious to see what would happen at FreeRice.com. The day you mentioned it, they had their highest day in March…The number of grains from the day before more than doubled. I am sure you already noticed but thought I would pass on a kudos!"

YOU guys are amazing!

    I love your juicy gossip just as much as the next person but it is obvious that you can use your influence for good as well. Continue to pepper your website with posts about important societal issues…you truly are helping to open people's eyes and encourage people to get involved in the world..especially the younger gengeration…much props perez!

    i did the free rice thing… and i want to know how come none of the stories on POP fiction were ever reported here? i watched it last night & hadnt seen any of the stories… are you on the take for that show? you must know whats fake… i was very disappointed in it

  35. loveperez says – reply to this
    35

    not to put a damper on the good work done by perez, but that 'observant reader' failed to notice that freerice consistently has its lowest numbers on weekends, and that the grain total for the 16th was just above 10% higher than last fridays (which wasn't even the highest grossing day this month). I love you perez, but lets not give false impressions.

  36. tyler says – reply to this
    36

    i just donated 2,100 grains of rice, haha.

  37. willy says – reply to this

    perez…seriously you rock for putting that up. I heard about that site about 4 months ago…it's amazing that, knowing the numbers you get, you put it up to make a significant difference.

    Keep it going.

    I just passed this off to our noon hour jock (I work at a radio station) and we are going to use this as our Wicked Website of the Day. Pretty cool stuff. We're going to help spread the vibe!

    Re: you are a loser pig Perez

    But he still manages to get idiots like yourself to come to his site………and he makes millions in ad revenue b/c of it—so who's the idiot?! Not Perez!

  43. thought you'd like to know... says – reply to this
    43

    As an FYI, the New York Times ran a story about this on Sunday….that's a major reason why there was an increase.

    I appreciate when you use your "power" to promote worthy causes and/or educate people. Thank you for incorporating that into your other work.

    I was on the site already when you posted this :D
    Rice is cool, it does good stuff and it tastes good, too!

  49. Jackie says – reply to this
    49

    Um, the numbers doubled because it was Monday. Most people play while at work and don't work on the weekends. While it's great you got this site out there, I wouldn't go around saying that you're responsible for the increase.

    Hi Perez - I check your blog a few times a day. I like the fact that you take stances on real issues and don't mind speaking your mind about the trivial ones as well. :) However, I am very disappointed that you didn't even post a sentence about Obama's monumental speech in Philly. I know you're routing for Hillary, but the subject he addressed effects all of us (especially those who might suffer from prejudice and hate crimes). I thought you would understand that.

  65. Veronica Nova-Jean says – reply to this

    I know it's kinda cheating but if you pull up dictionary.com and just copy and paste the words it'll give you the defiinition of course and usually the DEF. includes one of the words you have as an option.. Can earn A LOT of rice doing it that wayyy.. So, I guess since it's for a good cause then cheating is allowed right??? P.S. I knew of that website like a month ago.. Perez, you gotta get on the ball!

  66. Jena says – reply to this

    Oh this makes me so happy!
