Own a Piece of the Captain
William Shatner encountered many hazardous rock formations in space as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, but the most hazardous, not to mention revolting, one of all is the one that comes from right smack dab from inside his kidney.That's right Willimam Shatner had a kidney stone removed in November, and he is selling it on goldenpalace.com for charity for $20,000.The proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity, which is good, but what gets me is the arrogance. I wish I could go around selling my bodily growths, both internal and external, to the highest bidder, but I don't. Then again I'm not a celeberty either. I would also be labeled as "that guy who sold that disgusting part of himself for money," and I really don't want that. I bet alot of people would sell thier deformities for money if they can, afterall, if I've learned anything from reality shows, it's that money and fame are way more important than dignity. In other words, in our topsy turvy post-modern world, where personal character comes second to making an ass of yourself on tv, Shatner has his priorities in the right order. Just ask the cast of Survivor, I bet they'd sell vital organs to stay famous.
I guess I wish we lived in a world where I could get a date because of dignity, and not owning a Corvette, but lo, we do not.
