LONDON - TV producers were criticized yesterday over reports they are developing a reality show in which men would compete for a chance to father a child & then take part in an on-air "sperm race."
In the show, up to 1K men would attempt to persuade a woman to pick them as the father of her 1st child by impressing her w/their intelligence, sex appeal & fitness.
A 2nd sperm donor would be chosen on the basis of genetic compatibility, & the 2 finalists would then take part in the sperm race, in which the insemination process could be filmed using new technology.
Brighter Pictures is considering making the program, provisionally called MAKE ME A MUM.
A spokesman for Life, an anti-abortion campaign group, said: "It's absolutely despicable. It's exploitation w/no consideration for the child that may or may not be created. If the child learns that he or she was fathered, not out of love, but for the purposes of a TV program, that's extremely pschologically damaging."
Remy Blumenfield, Brighter's creative director, told BROADCAST magazine: "There's a tremendous amount of science to this show. It's completely fascinating. It's much more about the rule of science than the rules of attraction."
Ummmmmmmmmm, sure a circle jerk of 2. Or who can hit the sperm jar from 20 paces? Is the athletic ability test? Ummmmmmm, ewwwwwwwwwwwww. However you look at it...
Altho my athletic choice would be LANCE ARMSTRONG, even w/1 testicle. I am sure, he could? Still Father? The "Arnold" machine of tomorrow LMAO
