I checked the site/blog that, I think, originated the claim.
Turns out some guy decided it was a scam, and set out to prove it, ultimately having people use a bunch of clicking macros to donate the rice.
As evidence he cites numbers of successful clicks as given through browsers running macros, and then compares it to the amount of rice reported given by the site at the end of the month, or somesuch.
So he's cheating the site to prove it, and telling everyone the site is the scam.
He also claims that the owner of the site pockets the supposed revenues that didn't go into rice, although this can't proven.
He even has the WFP (World Food programme) commenting on his site/blog, saying they would very much like him to stop.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's more to do with a database issue, and that the number of simultaneous commands issued by the bots fuck up the amount of clicks submitted to the database.
At any rate that wee mythbuster there sounds like a massive cunt.
