World’s Largest Sperm Bank Says No Thanks To Red Headed Donors

Yep!  That was essentially the headline of a story I read on the KTBS website the other day.

Here's the story:

The world's largest sperm bank is turning away potential donors who have red hair, according to a CNN report. Cryos International's director told a Danish newspaper it's a matter of supply and demand. He says red-heads' sperm's highest demand comes from Ireland. But most customers want sperm from brown-eyed, brown-haired donors. For now, the bank doesn't need any sperm. Cryos' director says it's at capacity and has a waiting list that's 600 names long. That's why it says it's being more selective about what donations it accepts.

Boy, it's really a world of  "supply and demand" isn't it?  Ask anyone about "New Coke" or knew anyone with a "Yugo".  Just never thought that "Red Headed Stranger" would be lumped in with the Ronco Vegematic or Uncle Ben's Beans and Fixins.  Does make you wonder if some red head might dye his hair just to jack with their plans and act as a red head kamikaze ambassador....and can you imagine how ticked off you'd be if you paid for a brown haired brown eyed kid and it came out looking like little Orphan Annie?  I just thought that Red Heads everywhere need to unite (wink,wink) ....make sure that these huge corporations don't do away with future Reba's and Lucille Ball's.
