Cloggy hoax

Fooled quite a few people:

That links to the Gurkha story.

Am I missing something?

MB is referring to the kidney donor reality TV hoax, which was rather
good I think!

Ahh, that would be:

Dunno why, but I am strangely relieved that it was a hoax.

Oops, wrong one pasted. I'm a numpty. It's too early, see.

 

I for one think it's even worse. Well at least as disgusting... When
will viewers of that kind of shows understand they're in fact looking
into a mirror, and see that they're enjoying other people's misery.
That might (?) make them think.

"I'm just trying to be a better person. My name is Eric." ;-)

 

I think the idea of the who was to bring into the public knowledge the
lack of donor organs. The 'donor' knew about it (and was an actress)
and the 'recievers', although real peeps requiring a real donor
organs, knew it was a hoax too.

Job done I say. Well done to them.

 

And should anyone care here, get your name on the register...

The spanish press fell for it hook line and sinker. And in turn, so did I.

I think the idea of The Who was to die before you get old.

 

The whole world (nearly) did...

 

Quite so, it made the local 'news' here. I wonder if they'll do a follow
up story.

 

The spanish press did. They called it a "fraud". Literally "fraude" in
spic, which I suppose could translate to "hoax".
