Sperm for tickets - Anyone?! [merged]

Sully · 2008-03-11 17:06:27

I came across an amusing link today. Apparently, this crowd will give you a free ticket to any major European festival - on one condition: You donate sperm. http://www.spermfortickets.com/about_us.html Very amusing.. I assume its a hoax! Cant be true, could it?!

The thing is: I don't want to, in the future, to find some little child that resembles me that I didn't create.

There's shoddy homemade posters about NCAD... If it's a hoax, it's probably someone in here that put it together.

Anyone ever donated sperm before? Any criteria you have to meet? Like non-drinker, non-smoker etc?
I'm guessing you have to do a medical too, but it doesn't say it there...

Girls can make a lot of moulah for donating eggs in the usa, the better your credentials, the higher price they pay. Your graded on looks, education, family health history and heaps of other stuff. I was intregued by the idea for a while but then decided that i couldn't live with the thought that i had kids out there walking around that could turn up at my door any moment... Hi Mom!

Not sure about sperm donation, dont think its as prized as eggs as its more plentiful and easier to harvest...

Tried it at the ticketmaster booth. I didn't get my Daniel O'Donnell tickets, just a restraining order.

Ugh, donating sperm is scary. Imagine finding out you have a sprog who wants a daddy ten years down the line, just because you wanted to go to glastonbury.

Well you can't find out your sperms destiny, nor can your sperm find out yours... They don't even keep your name on file!

I'm sure they will (or I hope they will) be requiring an IQ test as well as a medical. God knows there are enough idiots out there without more being added to the gene pool. :rolleyes:
Bet there will also be enough legal paperwork to sign to put anyone off the idea.
