Nothing can be more hilarious than this story that came across my desk a couple of days ago. Apparently, the world's largest sperm bank, Cryos, has officially stopped taking sperm from red headed men. According to Gizmodo.com, despite the overall increase in donations the demand for red headed sperm just isn't that high. Sorry, Carrot Top, being a 'Ginger' is just not the 'in thing' these days!
It turns out, sterile couples just don't want to make red headed babies anymore, but did they really ever want to? I mean I always thought that red heads were made on accident or were only adopted or even inherited, hence the term 'beaten like a red headed stepchild!'
Cryos director, Ole Schou, went on record to state that 'unless a woman's partner was a "ginger" or she had a preference for red hair, he didn't see many people choosing red hair over other types of hair.' In fact, Schou says, "The only country where the specimens are flying off the shelves is Ireland." Which makes sense to me since many of the "gingers" that I know are predominantly Irish, and any red head who isn't Irish is usually a fake red head, but then again, why would anyone want to fake being a 'ginger'?
Cryos ships sperm to more than 65 countries around the globe. Donors can score up to $500 a pop for their semen. Schou also noted that men with brown hair and brown are are their top-sellers. Hmmmmm....$500 a pop? I have brown hair and brown eyes. This might be something to think about when things get really tough financially. Sorry, redheads! Once again, you're S.O.L.
