chinese kidney thief sentenced to community service
Seattle PI — A Tacoma man who admitted stealing a kidney from “Bodies … The Exhibition” — a display of preserved human bodies on display in Seattle — was sentenced Friday to 240 hours of community service.Tyler Conrad, 26, pleaded guilty last month to stealing the plasticized organ in February. He told detectives he did it as a prank. The kidney was returned to the exhibit.
jay: my guess is that the irony of the prank was lost on the curatorial staff. for those of you not in the know, word on the street has it that the bodies in ‘Bodies … The Exhibition’ came from executed chinese political prisoners, none of them have documentation stating that they were signing on for this. lame. also, chinese kidney thief!
cates: they’ve got the story wrong. the dude heard there was a lucrative black market trade in organs but nobody told him to go for the fresh ones. he circulated the prank excuse to make himself look less stupid.
dan: wait, you can’t do that?
dan: p.s. welcome cates!
cates: it’s a nice place you’ve found here. is it table service or should i go up to the bar?
