A family are auctioning off sticks saying "Frank Must Die" to help save their son from a tumour on his neck. Not a direct link to the auction but a link to the news report about it.

Good thing about the uk is we have the NHS. Yes you have to wait for ages, but in the states if you don't have insurance aren't you screwed?

No, you're just in mountains of debt after you get fixed up. Plus waiting for ages probably isn't the best strategy for medical care.

We don't actually ALWAYS have to wait for ages. This is just one of those things that people have decided they like to complain about and so they focus on it desperately and thus it becomes accepted "knowledge" whilst we all ignore the many benefits the NHS brings to this country in a state of blissful bitterness and contempt for all that is good and right.
And so the world progresses.

they named it frankenstien, frank for short. When i first read it i thought they got a few sticks lying around and painted frank must die on it. I hope they get the ammount they are hoping for

They're selling STICKERS, not sticks.

 

[CyberSh33p]

A sticker, of course, being one who sticks.

 

[Brian Damage]

Oh, hush.

Franks worldwide must be fearing for their lives!

Also... i'm glad when I see things like this actually for genuine causes. Can you imigine the capability for evil from ebay, if people can acquire significant amounts of wealth by having even the slightest amount of wit?
