FADING TO BLACK
Here's a new low in reality shows.
A Dutch woman with an inoperable brain tumor wants to donate a kidney before she dies and will choose the recipient from among three contestants on national television.
Sounds like a real tear-jerker.
The kicker is that it's unclear whether those in need of a kidney on "The Big Donor Show" are a medical match with the terminally ill woman. The winner might not even be able to receive her kidney.

Funeral homes are even giving discounts to families of a donor when they die.
Hum, sounds like it's about money after all.
On a lighter note: Here's what some are saying about rising gas prices:
