EEEEWWW!!

Do not follow the link above if you have a weak stomach!

Here is the first sentence of this story as seen on MSNBC news via the Washington Post this morning:
NEW YORK - Hundreds of very live Americans are walking around with pieces of the wrong dead people inside of them.

The story then goes on to describe a horror story about unscrupulous people, one in particular a drug-addicted dentist, who traffic in the illegal harvesting of body parts from cadavers and funeral homes for use in transplants.

Apparently some of the cadavers had cancer, syphillis, or were way too old to qualify for transplant material. One of the cadavers ended up being Alistair Cooke!

Another quote: "We know that they obtained these bodies in a fraudulent way and off the scale of acceptable practice," FDA spokesman Stephen King said.

Stephen King? Could this story be a hoax designed by Mr. King's marketing team to get the public ready for a new thriller? I freaking hope so.
