    It just feels wrong, and I can’t quite explain why.

    It’s essentially throwing a slab of meat into an arena and watching the starved poors fight to the death over it, then watching while you’re served the equivalent of thanksgiving dinner by your butler/maids in a safe climate controlled room.

    There comes a point where “philanthropy” simply becomes rich people making games for the poors to win a “prize” and seeing how they react for their own entertainment rather than any sort of benevolence. The lambo example seems pretty much spot on for that.
