Sperm Bank Turns Down Redheads: Funny or Offensive?Redheads just don't get a break.
"South Park" joked that they didn't have souls, M.I.A. killed them off in one of her music videos, and now sperm banks are turning them down.
facepalm
That's right. If you're a ginger looking to make a few bucks at the sperm bank, you might have a hard time finding a buyer.
Croyos International, a world-famous Danish sperm bank that does business in more than 65 countries including the U.S., has stopped accepting redheaded donors because, well... nobody wants them. The company is near capacity with more than 70 liters (18.5 gallons) of the stuff "and almost 500 donors in quarantine."
The original article, published in a Danish newspaper called Ekstrabladet, was titled "Vi drukner i sæd," which Google translates to "We are drowning in semen."
What a pleasant thought.
Company director Ole Schou told Ekstrabladet, "There are too many redheads in relation to demand. I do not think you choose a redhead unless the partner -- for example, the sterile male -- has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."
Ohh! Burnmer!
There is one place redheads are still in high demand, though...
"It sells in Ireland," Schou added. "It goes like hot cakes there."
Well, it's nice to hear there's still a place where gingers can feel loved if the cultural stigmas and Ron Weasley jokes become too much to bear.
Indian sperm, on the other hand, is hard to come by. Because India has strict laws against sperm and egg transactions, childless international Indian customers looking for sperm will probably have to go on a list.
