From the WTF dept:
The Shanghai Daily is reporting that a 17-year old sold a kidney so he could buy an iPad 2.
On April 28th, the boy went to Chenzhou City in neighboring Hunan Province for the kidney removal surgery arranged by the broker. He was paid 22,000 yuan (an extra 2,000–) or $3,400 after his right kidney was taken out at Chenzhou’s famous No. 198 Hospital.
His mom later found out (probably because he was rocking a new white iPad 2 and a huge scar) and called the police.
Suddenly, waiting in line overnight doesn’t seem so insane anymore.
