My comment would almost certainly be one that you are referring to.

I think you need to justify how it is a cynical comment please?

To me, the truly cynical thing here is that you can't seem to understand that Batkid's entire life is a lot more comfortable and pleasant than that of a great number of sick children around the world.

The fact that so much that could have gone so far was spent on making an already (relatively) privileged existence fun for a day because of the air time it generates - is hideously cynical.

I really do not wish to be overdoing the guilt trip here, I'm just a little baffled by your definition of cynicism.
