Sperm race TV show launched in Germany

A new reality TV show has been launched in Germany to find the man with the fastest sperm.

The sperm will be attracted to the finishing line by a chemical lure identical to that emitted by the female egg in the womb.

The aim is to find Germany's most virile man in a new reality show being dubbed Sperm Race.

Twelve men, including two celebrities and a 'health freak', will take part in the show set to be aired later this year.

The show will follow the contestants as they make donations at a sperm bank. The frozen sperm will then be transported to the studio in Cologne.

Borris Brandt, 43, head of production company Endemol in Germany, rejected protests that the show was unethical, saying no human eggs would be fertilised.

"The main prize in the competition is a Porsche, not a baby. It's actually a very scientific programme and the topic of fertility is massive in Germany at the moment," he said.

The sperm will be released into a test tube in which a chemical substance will draw the fluid towards it

The winner will be pronounced by a team of doctors including a gynaecologist, an andrologist and a urologist.

Brandt added: "The programme isn't immoral. We're only testing, we're not conceiving."

production company Endemol

Wow, I am so shocked, I am literally flat out on the floor in astonishment. That Endemol would get invovled in a project which is so crass, and drivelly - they're only into high quality programming like 'Big Brother' after all.

Modern 'culture' is actually becoming a parody of its own stereotype.

I don't understand why I should be concerned at how fast my sperm moves, I mean, what am I expecting is going to happen after I ahem, "acheive Shang Ri La"?  Some other guy is going to come along and pass me???

At the end of the show the announcer probably will ask the audience to give the winner a hand, and he'll say " no thanks, I'll do it myself"


And come to think of it, if the sperm race ends in a tie, i wonder if they'll have a runoff.

Fastest isn't always best, you know...sometimes slow and steady wins the race.

The Japanese have had it beat (no pun intended) for years. They have a show that measures output by volume for a given time period.

The show was an abject failure.

Apparently, the financier lost money.... hand over fist.

*watches tumbleweed drift past*


Sorry.

Considering their declining birthrates, one would think they could find a better use for the little guys :)

A reality show about sperm? Honey, porn is the ultimate reality show. You don't get more naked than that. Call it the "Nekkid Gun." I'm sure they're a slot in it somewhere for Leslie Nielsen. ;-)
