Zie je wel...

...tuurlijk was het nep. Die donorshow van BNN. Ik zei het toch??







TV kidney competition was a hoax
Picture shows the three candidates in the Big Donor Show that aired on Friday, 01 June 2007, in Aalsmeer.
The 'contestants' were all in genuine need of a kidney
A Dutch TV contest which purported to show a dying woman choose a patient to receive her kidneys was a hoax.

The "donor" in the show was in fact an actress - though the three people vying for an organ were real patients in need of a kidney transplant.



The three knew that The Big Donor Show, which aired on Friday, was not real. The producers say it was made to highlight the shortage of Dutch donors.



Before the hoax was revealed, the show had attracted widespread criticism.



"We are not giving away a kidney here, that is going too far even for us," presenter Patrick Lodiers said at the moment when the fake donor was apparently about to reveal her choice of patient.

  1. Het nieuws had zelfs in Ierland (waar ik op dat moment was) de landelijke TV gehaalt. Wereldnieuws, gemaakt in NL.
