The program where you voted who got a Kidney in the nederlands was hoax! It was to raise awareness of the shortage of organ donors there.

I think they did a great job even though I didn't like the idea at first. This is how Bart (a famous Dutch person) would've done it if he was still alive.

The lady who was suposed to give her kidney was an actress.

Bart is short for Bartholomew and is a biblical name.

But more on topic - it did what it was supposed to and raised a lot of media attention which is good ;D

Bart is short for Bartholemew, which someone said it is a biblican name. When I was confirmed (stage in catholic religion) I got to pick a saint and had his name as my middle name, I was going to pick Bart, but I picked Patrick instead :)
