Win My Kidneys!

A show in which a terminally ill woman gives her kidneys to one lucky contestant has sparked controversy in the Netherlands. Like the pun with the image of kidney beans? Couldn't resist as the story in is self is quite amazing! Let's look at the facts. the woman is dying and she has the chance to give her kidneys away and so she offers joe public the chance to choose who can have those kidneys?.......The whole idea is rather sick and I personally could never bring myself to watch such a show. We are not talking about a KIDNEY BEAN!

Unbelievably the public are deciding who is being given a possible new life or even a surgery which could KILL THEM while the other contestants would be left with either continueing dialysis which cannot go on forever? This could be their one and only chance and it should be the doctors who decide WHO gets a person's body parts not the general public.

Big Brother starts again tomorrow and I used to love this weird and sometimes wonderful show but I'm dreading it this year. The last 'celebrity' version became a farce and the production company did not help matters by allowing it to run the way it did. The problem is that WE want shows such as 'Mad Dying Dutch Woman Selling Kidneys' and "Big brother Race Fight" that never really was. We love to watch stupidity and if the police had been called in on BB I don't think it would have been half as fun.

I would like to think I still like Big Brother and now the production company have said ALL profits are going to charity and the cost of the call has been halved. I've been on the channel four website (the TV company who run BB), and you would not believe the amount of complaints I have seen on the website about that production company! Goodness knows how much profit has been made from stupidity.......because lets be honest you would have to be very stupid to keep phoning to "Kick out your least favourite housemate"!!!

Reality TV has become even sicker though with that vile Dutch show. It has to stop somewhere doesn't it?
