Sperm bank turns down redheads
The world's largest sperm bank has started turning down redheaded donors because there is too little demand for their sperm.

Ole Schou, Cryos's director, said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing the facility to become much more picky about its donors.
"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose 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."
Mr Schou said the only reliable demand for sperm from redheaded donors from Ireland, where he said it sold “like hot cakes”.
Cryos’s stores have now reached their peak capacity of 70 litres of semen, and Mr Schou has a waiting list of 600 donors.

The origin is from the TV show Gilligan’s Island. It’s in reference to the redhead movie star “Ginger”.

Nonsense. “Ginger” has been a nickname for red-headed humans and chestnut (sorrel) horses for ever. It ties in with the spiciness of ginger root and the similar temper of redheads.
The OED gives the earliest documented use in this sense as 1785.

How about this -
In South Carolina, light skinned blacks especially those with freckles, are known as “gingercakes”.
Go figure.

Damn Gingers. This "ginger" is a 2nd degree Taekwondo black belt who'll kick your ass if you use that term again.
