[In a thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=488441) about the [Have guys awakened after a party to find their kidneys stolen?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1169/have-guys-awakened-after-a-party-to-find-their-kidneys-stolen) column, a reader posted the following query:

> [@Stolen kidneys](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stolen-kidneys/468481/7):
>
> How expensive can it be for a multimillion dollar underground industry to pay the occasional respected journalist to state categorically that its an urban legend?

To which Uncle Cecil’s editor announced:

> [@Stolen kidneys](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stolen-kidneys/468481/11):
>
> Not very expensive at all, unfortunately, and we’re tired of selling ourselves cheap. How much will you pay for us to say stealing kidneys is for real?

I’m not sure if this most welcome new policy is due to Creative Loafing’s [recent financial difficulties](http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewiStockNews+articleid_2661802.html), or because Mr. Zotti has to pay off some loan sharks for the home improvement costs for [The Barn House](http://www.amazon.com/Barn-House-Confessions-Urban-Rehabber/dp/0451225570), but this certainly is a great opportunity.

I assume this will be conducted on Ebay. I for one am looking forward to a bidding war in order to have Unca Cece enthusiastically confirm that the [“missing day theory”](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/672/did-scientists-discover-a-missing-day-as-predicted-in-the-bible) is indeed evidence that “Our God is rubbing their noses in His Truth!”
