Hooters at the Hospital

Posted: Monday, July 6th, 2009

3631867609_71474921a0_mSexy nurses and quadruple-deck burgers come together at the Heart Attack Grill, a burger place in Chandler, Arizona, famous for its Double Bypass Burger, waitresses that dress like slutty nurses, lard-fried potatoes, and free meals not for kids, but for people who weigh in at over 350 pounds. Whether you think it’s digusting or hilarious, you gotta admit it’s brilliant marketing.

Organs in the News

Posted: Thursday, February 19th, 2009

picture-2You knew that you can sell your old adirondack chair, get a job, buy some orange juice or find a boyfriend on Craigslist. But did you know you can also find a human kidney? Two sisters’ ailing father was looking at a 2-6 year waiting list for a donor until they looked to Craigslist to connect dear old dad with a kidney donor.  Someone stepped up to the plate and dad got his organ. On the less legal side, another person looking to connect with some cold hard cash tried to sell his own kidney on Craiglist for $75,000. Not so legal.

Kasper The Friendly Kidney

Posted: Monday, October 6th, 2008

Holly’s got guts — she’s having a kidney transplant on the 17th after a four year long wait for one. Major guts on this girl. At least now she has a plushie kidney, which she’s named Kasper the Kidney. Very Kute. Hopefully all will go well, we are rooting for her over her at Guts HQ. She writes a great blog called Quest for a Kidney, so check it out and send her some love + support in the comments section! And be sure to send her awesome donor friend love and support, too!
