A Suggestion for Hollywood
 When a celebrity contracts a terrible disease, the world takes notice. No one even knew what Lou Gehrig's disease was until Lou came down with it. As soon as Michael J. Fox announced he had Parkinson's Disease, he was before the Senate, educating the world on the shakes. Parkinson's may as well be renamed Fox's (not to be confused with the Jodie Foster film, "Foxes") since who the hell remembers Parkinson, anyway?
If a star gets your ailment, you better believe people will pour money into finding a cure. But does a celebrity actually have to come down with a disease for it to be named after him? Disease activists take note: Why not link your disease with a famous moniker BEFORE tragedy strikes? Ooze guarantees that money and press will rain from the sky!
