If you haven't heard about it, the makers of the Dutch version of Big Brother were supposed to be making a show in which the prize was a woman's kidney. The woman in question was apparently dying of cancer and she had to interview four people who needed the kidney before choosing who to donate it to. Now, I thought at the time that this was sick enough.
However, it came out in the news today that the whole thing was a hoax. The "dying" woman was an actress and the "contestants" (who, for the record, are actually waiting for organs) were in on it. Apparently the whole thing was intended to highlight the shortage of organs. Now, is it just me or does anyone else think this was one of the sickest stunts ever? Surely they could've found a better way to publicise this kind of thing.
