BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Outcry over TV kidney competition

A Dutch TV station says it will go ahead with a programme in which a terminally ill woman selects one of three patients to receive her kidneys.
Political parties have called for The Big Donor Show to be scrapped, but broadcaster BNN says it will highlight the country's shortage of organ donors.

"It's a crazy idea," said Joop Atsma, of the ruling Christian Democrat Party.

"It can't be possible that, in the Netherlands, people vote about who's getting a kidney," he told the BBC.

The programme, from Big Brother creators Endemol, is due to be screened on Friday night.

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!

Great, someone's more classless than Americans. I was worried there, for a moment...

Don't forget where the TV show Big Brother was created in 1999. The Netherlands are those of freedom ... Sometimes for the worse.
