I don’t know. Somebody is a little sensitive. It was a PR and publicity raising campaign. Pretty good one if you ask me.

I don’t at all see how this equates to a terrorist threat hoax. It’s not even close. You’d have to argue that people panicked and that it caused chaos, and that people were hurt. That’s what happens with a terrorist threat (much like screaming fire at a Ted Nugent concert).

I disagree, the people who came up with this should be promoted.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch television show in which a terminally ill woman would supposedly donate her kidney to one of three contestants was revealed as a hoax Friday.

At the last moment, presenter Patrick Lodiers of the “Big Donor Show” said the woman known as “Lisa” was an actress, not actually dying of a brain tumor as claimed.

The entire exercise was intended to pressure the government into reforming its organ donation laws and raise public awareness of the need for organs.

The three prospective recipients were real patients in need of transplants and had been in on the hoax, the show said.”

A great scheme to educate people and raise awarness about the importance of organ donation..

If you’re reading this, please fill out your organ donation card and tell your family your intentions (you must do both). You gotta do this before you die or else nobody will benefit from your parts cause you can’t speak for youself when your dead.
