Those crafty Dutch TV producers!
The Big Donor Show, which we mentioned earlier this week, turned out to be a big media stunt to raise awareness of the lack of kidney donors (and most probably to get huge ratings too).
The patient who was supposedly going to give away her kidney was actually an actress and the participating patients ‘competing’ for the kidney were in on the stunt, several Dutch readers tell PerezHilton.com.
Producers revealed the truth at the end of the show.
Publicity from all over the world these last 7 days had more debates about the donor problem than the past seven years combined.
Camera crews from all over the world flew in to Holland for the show, which aired Friday night, so they got the attention they wanted for what we think is a good cause.
You see, the Dutch aren’t as crazy as everybody thinks.
Well, maybe they are, but we love them for it!
