Ένας από τους πλουσιότερους και ισχυρότερους ανθρώπους στη Βραζιλία,
o Thane Chiquinho Scarpa, προκάλεσε θύελλα αντιδράσεων όταν ανακοίνωσε
τα σχέδια του, να θάψει της ενός εκατομμύριου δολλαρίων του Bentley, ώστε να
μπορεί να την οδηγήσει και μετά θάνατον.
Αυτό του το τέχνασμα έλαβε μεγάλη προσοχή από τα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης,
ως επί το πλείστον αρνητική και επικρίθηκε έντονα για την υπερβολική χειρονομία και
τη σπατάλη ενός πολύτιμου προϊόντος.
Γιατί δεν θα έδινε το αυτοκίνητο σε φιλανθρωπία;
Πόσο μακριά από την επαφή με την πραγματικότητα είναι αυτός ο τύπος;
Συνέχισε παρ'αυτά με την τελετή.
Αλλά, υπάρχει μια ανατροπή.
(Φυσικά και υπάρχει. Γιατί άλλωστε να ασχολούμαστε με αυτή την ιστορία;)
Στιγμές πριν από τη χαμήλωση του αυτοκινήτου στο έδαφος που προετοιμάστηκε
για την ταφή της Bentley, δήλωσε ότι δεν θα θάψει το αυτοκίνητό του και στη
συνέχεια αποκάλυψε το πραγματικό του κίνητρο για το δράμα:
Απλά να δημιουργήσει συνειδητότητα και
ευαισθητοποίηση για τη δωρεά οργάνων.
"Οι άνθρωποι με καταδικάζουν επειδή ήθελα να θάψω ένα εκατομμύριο δολάρια, μια Bentley, στην πραγματικότητα οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι θάβουν κάτι πολύ πιο πολύτιμο από το αυτοκίνητό μου", δήλωσε ο Scarpa κατά τη διάρκεια μιας ομιλίας στην τελετή. "Θάβουμε καρδιές, συκώτια, πνεύμονες, μάτια, νεφρά. Αυτό είναι παράλογο. Τόσοι πολλοί άνθρωποι περιμένουν μια μεταμόσχευση και θάβετε τα υγιή σας όργανα που θα μπορούσαν να σώσουν τόσες πολλές ζωές! "
resting place, people were shocked — and outraged.
It wasn’t so much about where he wanted to be buried, but how. Supposedly inspired
by pharaohs and other old rulers who took their belongings with them to the grave for
use in the afterlife, Scarpa announced that he would be burying his $40,000 Bentley
in preparation for the next world.
As you may imagine, his announcement caused something of a stir. People were upset,
and rightly so, about a perfectly good car being buried in the ground with a dead man
when it could be used by someone else.
It was a waste, as well as an environmental concern, and very inconsiderate to someone who might need a car. You’re probably having that reaction right now!
But just wait: Scarpa actually has this all planned out, and what he was really doing?
Making a powerful statement.
Sometimes you have to do something a little ridiculous, or even a little crazy, to make people see something in a new way, like the man who modeled his girlfriend’s clothing
on the internet to call out how crazy and damaging the system of women’s clothing
sizes can be.

Pure genius!
One of the richest and most powerful men in Brazil, Thane Chiquinho Scarpa, made waves when he announced plans to bury his million-dollar Bentley so he could drive around the afterlife in style. He received lots of media attention and was criticized for the extravagant gesture. Why wouldn’t he donate the car to charity? How out of touch with reality is this guy? He still went ahead with the ceremony.
But, there’s a twist. (Of course there is. Why else would we be covering this story?)
Moments before lowering the car in the ground he revealed his genuine motive:
To create awareness for organ donation.
“People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something a lot more valuable than my car,” Scarpa said during a speech at the ceremony. “They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. This is absurd. So many people waiting for a transplant and you will bury your healthy organs that will save so many lives.”
