/and hotlinked like a chain in the furnace

I wonder if he has a big cawk, cause I could use a transplant. Maybe he would donate it.

... an ominous warning

"Free attention" guy, maybe? That would be cool if he wasn't going to film the process and put it online.

I would be more worried about this:

I have this shirt:



Only heard about this guy after I wore it in public.

It's funny, though, watching people's faces when they see it. Their expressions often run through all sorts of anxieties - hopeful anticipation, fear, wary watchfulness. In a way, just by wearing the shirt - just by making it clear that there's a standing offer of NSA amiable physical contact - you invade their space a little bit, and it makes them uncomfortable. It's very interesting.

/hugs + squid = crazy delicious

Inaditch: Yeah, I'm torn between admiring this sort of behavior in others and disdaining it because of the underlying selfish and somewhat hypocritical motives.

In the end, though, if all we have to do is give these people a little attention, I'd say it's a price worth paying.

What is the point of him telling everyone about his decision to donate a pee filter? It's nice and all, but I doubt it's going to kick start an organ donation trend.

/hopes for a donation flash mob

You want your damned 30 dollars back? I want my kidney back!!!

But if you wore that at an anime convention....
/Now I want a pedobear one that says free hugs
//And bail money. Can't live without bail money.

This guys a rock star in my book. Good for him. Thanks Free Hugs Guy.

Juan Mann...two kidneys...it makes sense to me.

We have a Free Hugs guy (and girl) that show up every so often on campus.

I always collect one. :)

I suspect his motivation is to encourage others to give it some consideration. Even if that's not the case, I'd say the ends justify the means and he's a mighty big man for doing so.

I'm keeping my two kidneys tyvm. You can take them if I die though.

Fantastic.

Thank you. I'm emailing that to my mother.

If feeling good about yourself somehow lessens the value of any kind act then most philanthropy is worthless.

But perhaps this guy is trying to highlight Australia's Organ Donor rate is amongst the worst in the world. I don't expect he's going to start any sort of kidney transplant movement but raising awareness of the shortage he could enact some real change on the postmortem ones. Positive use of celebrity.

You can Google it yourself but I'll even provide a government source

Mmmm...kidneys.

Attention Whore.

/Am I trolling right?

I, personally, don't care about his motivations for doing this. He might potentially save a life in the process of his "attention whoring" and that deserves a hero tag.

wow...just wow.

His penis was sort of...hypnotic

Regarding a few of the posts above - I'm a bit of a cynic myself, but your thoughts regarding this guy are anything beyond "good on him", seek professional help. Maybe you'll find someone who will do it for free.

Years later, the grim story told will be told via flash-backs.

The kidney will be given to his father. A father who used his scheming ways to set-up his only son. A father who needed a matching kidney, and would do anything to get it.

/WAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTT!

The amount of shiat feeders in this thread is enough to make me keep my hand over my mouth. The guys doing it because people need help. If we can't help each other what the fukc are we going to do? We'd all be doomed, doomed I'm telling you! DOOMED!!

Quantumbunny: rcain: ... an ominous warning

I would be more worried about this:

I guess Juan Mann really can make a difference.

Chicks dig scars? What kind of chicks, ostomy nurses?

I'd donate my kidney.... 'cept i'd die.

// chicks don't dig my scar
/// or do they?
//// lonesome.

Soooo, can Mr. Jedana get in on the kidney deal?

/chicks dig scars
//but not scars from nephrectomies
///pretty big and heal ugly
///and the muscle heals bumpy

///seriously, go get tested for compatability
////even if it for after you die
///thank you

I dig scars. If for no other reason, they usually have a pretty entertaining story behind them (at least all of mine do). Some of them even look pretty cool.

I'll donate the contents of my kidney...

The guy deserves the Hero tag IMHO.

Kidney? You say kidney?

/shamelessly hotlinked.
//Don't tell me what I can't do.

I'm keeping my kidneys should someone I care about need one.

TFA fails to mention the sizable donation he made of a chunk of his brain....

There was a free hug day in Vancouver about 8 months back. I'd just gotten back from a long backpacking trip, and had to run out to get some things, and stumbled into it. I'm 6'4", and after a few weeks in the woods looked a little rough I suppose, with pretty wild hair and a big beard. So I'm weaving my way through this free hug day stuff, just trying to get home, when the biggest guy out there, seriously looked like a linebacker or something, came up with his arms spread wide. What could I do? Big manly bear hug in the middle of Robson ensued, between giant hairy bush man (me) and linebacker dude.

Seriously, this stuff sounds stupid, but it's just good clean fun... everyone was laughing, having a good time, and it put a smile on peoples' face for no more than 2 seconds of their time.

Good on this guy for starting something so simple it seems stupid, and then taking it one step further with this donation.

Hug me without a nice set of tits and jailarity will ensue from the assault charges.

/antisocial? maybe

This is a good person.

If I ever need a kidney, I hope my dad is still alive, All the rest of my family is different blood type....

I don't care that he's filming it. It's an incredible gift to give someone. Hopefully, it will inspire others.

Yikes, hoping I did not double post!!

(father died of kidney failure).

Who is Hugs?

/Just a Couple of Days

Korangulation: So why don't you donate your kidney?

I tried to give one of mine to my Dad, but he wouldn't do it. :(
