It's NOT Going to Be the First Line of Your Obituary

Saw a commercial the other night for Taylor's Gift, a non-profit organization that promotes organ donation.  A worthy cause, certainly.

In the commercial, the spokesperson introduces herself as "Carly." In fact, this is Carly Patterson, who won the all-around gymnastics gold medal at the 2004 Olympics.  In the ad, Carly says, "I'm an Olympic gold medalist, a musician, and most importantly, an organ donor."

MOST importantly?  You WON an Olympic gold medal!  You're a successful musician!  Do you really think the most important aspect of your life is that someone is going to get your corneas after you die?!?

I hope whoever you help doesn't need a self-esteem transplant 'cause they'll be shit-outta-luck!
