Touching yet Foolish...

Check out this 7-year old Korean MTV. Question:
The guy is probably someone like Rossi, MOTO GP Champ, plus a professional photographer (noticed he used Nikon too, hee hee!), can't he afford a pair of eyes?
I mean, its touchy 'n all, but it seems illogical to do that. He could have just bought corneas from someone else, or get it from organ donors, is that all worth it?
