Did you all get to hear about the Dutch tv show with the kidney donor? It was all a hoax but the main idea was to raise awareness for donors. Nobody had expected that here. It was some stunt and the donor organizations have been inundated with calls. This has done more for donor cards than any advertising campaign.

and so did we here. The show went ahead but the dying woman was an actress, revealed at the end. The three women hoping to get the kidney are really ill, they were in on the whole thing. The man who founded the company BNN, they made the show, died of kidney failure a few years ago and this was the anniversary of his death

Angela calm down
These people are sick and for most the only way to get better is by donors. We've been having a big thing going on here for the last couple of years trying to get people to carry donor cards, not just just stating that will be a donor but also stating if they DO NOT want to be one. Think of this show as one huge ad campaign to get people to realize the seriousness of donors and how much they are needed. They got more people responding to this after the show than in three months of advertising. It was all about awareness to the problems. The people involved, including the three poeple that are sick knew it was a hoax

Well thats a good thing so..I've always carried a donor card and its on the back of my driving license as well. and as soon as the kids are old enough, they'll have one as well...I cant donate my eyes as Im shortsighted but the rest is ok.. thats sad why someone would state they wouldnt be a donor when they could help if god forbid anything happened to them they would be looking for the help... Very good campaign so...it brought all the attention to the rest of the world...

I love it Oonagh, Im watching it on Living tv so we on the 3rd series..i wonder who Meridith will chose, I hope its Robin (chris o'donnell) he looked so cute in that outfit with batman..he looks even better in the show..did you know they are going to be doing a spin-off show? With Doc shepard (the gynie) and the fella she had the affair with..dont know the name of it yet but I'd say that would be interesting to watch too..... I miss Desperate Housewives.... Cant wait for it to come back on next year.....

The thought of waiting until February for LOST is just devastating!!! The last five minutes of the finale show were just amazing. Jack is one of my favourite characters, and the whole episode made me really sad. I just can't wait to see the next episodes. Only 8 months to go! :-)

Any one watching Grey s Anatomy what a show!! Im so hooked One of my favourites! It is on here tonight, the episode with te ferry accident. Can't wait. I've got some lovely smoked cheese in the fridge waiting for me. I'm going to put my PJ's on, snuggle up on the lounge with my biccie's and cheese, and I'll be all set. We also have a big BB on tonight. Double eviction and 2 intruders going in. Will be flicking through the ads. Love Desperate Housewives also! And Lost, haven't seen much of it but have seen bits of it the last coule of weeks cause Andrew watches it and I'm starting to like it. Might have to borrow the previous seasons and watch it from the beginning.
