Yes!

If you code it yourself, it'd be a cute exercise.

seems amusing enough. And as has been commented, it's not an effective use of time for charity anyhow,

Scrape the ads and create a screensaver that displays them, collage-like, and call it modern/performance art. :-)

No!

Sounds like a bad idea. Also, see the FAQ about this: http://freerice.com/faq.html

In their FAQ: "Couldn’t I just write a computer program to play all day and give a lot of rice that way? There are two problems with this. First, it overloads our servers so that real people can’t play and learn vocabulary. Second, without real people playing and buying products, it is no longer cost-effective for companies to advertise. Without advertising, we cannot give any rice at all."

This is neither a positive contribution to freerice nor to society. Figure out how long it would take to write the bot, multiply by your hourly consulting rate, and write a check in that amount to your favorite world hunger charity. Or, go play outside in the sunshine :)

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
