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."

From a strictly useless facts point of view I would be interested in the results; 'a male's sperm can travel in excess of 2cm per hour ... '

But I certainly wouldn't watch a show about it.

When fox catches wind of this, they're going to have deathsperm: 2005. instead of just a race, it will be a gruelling 10 foot, 2 day long trek through an obstetrical course (AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) to the prize: Fertilize an egg. but that's not all. The biggest twist is yet to "Come" (snicker), they will attach tiny, iiiiiiiitty bitty spikes to the tails for each sperm, secured with nanoglue. they will then be able to eliminate their opponents by way of DEATH. That's right, no more of this pansy-assed physical challenges or tribal council love-fests. Just pure, unadulterated DEATH. woo! 10 billion sperm enter, one sperm leaves, 10 billion sperm enter, one sperm leaves.

Endemol and the RTL-group are notrious for doing such things. Most people ignore this shit by now. In fact, it is the latest one in a series of shitty to horrible and stupid TV-shows.

Ah, Germany. The great country that brought us Shit Porn shows us once again that resting upon your laurels simply won't do. No! They have delved deep into their creative minds and have brought us this, proving once and for all that yes, there is indeed something worse than shit porn! Deutchland uber Allies!

2 days ago on an english auto magazine show they raced for fun with 20 year old monovolume wagons (is that english? anyway, those big family cars) with little or no rules (lotsa bumping and ramming). Now THAT was fun to see

The more I hear about shows that are airing on TV, the less I miss cable, and am thankful I have time to do other things.

*sigh* Every time I think TV can't sink any lower...
I mean, it has easily passed Earth's core by now, isn't it bound to pop out on the other side by now?
Seriously, are there LAWS against NOT incredibly stupid shows by now? I know good ones are to much to ask for, but how about ones that are simply not worth viewing? Or merely just rather boring?
No wonder Kabel 1 is recycling 80/90's shows like there's no tommorow...

endemol is a dutch company.

the good news for our american and british friends is that endemol is going to take the concept a step further for their viewers in the US and the UK. they´re planning a show called "make me a mum" for their american and british fans:
