Redheads Frozen Out of World's Largest Sperm Bank

A proudly redheaded Julianne Moore
Redheads just don't get enough respect. The situation has reached the point of a possible genetic crisis. The world's largest sperm bank, according to a story in the UK newspaper The Telegraph,  has effectively shut its doors to redheads. The Danish bank's owner cited a lack of demand for carrot tops and other varieties of red hair. The exception is Ireland, which apparently welcomes the otherwise pariah sperm.

Meanwhile, business is apparently brisk at the sperm bank: its filled to the brim with "donations," to the tune of 70 litres of potential humanity.

PS. Thanks to redhead Janice D'Arcy, who blogged about this today in her On Parenting blog in the Washington Post.
