It's patronizing shit like this, western world. 3rd world people can't be bothered to turn a crank for 5 seconds to get hours of reading light from an led, but you can trick them into it by sneaking it into a football?
Next we can make the goal-nets out of mosquito netting, so we can trick them out of dying of milaria.
