A wild ginger in her natural habitat.

Is it a case of anti-ginger discrimination?  Are redheads just too sexy to donate sperm at the world’s largest sperm bank?  Is the legend of Good King Henry simply too much for the average single mother or lesbian couple too much to live up to?  Well, no.  As it turns out, there’s not a huge demand for red-headed sperm donors, except in Ireland, and a recent peak in donation has left Denmark’s Cryos with an excess of red-headed semen.

“There are too many redheads in relation to demand,” Cryos director Ole Schou told told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.  “I do not think you choose 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.”

Cryos provides semen to women and infertile couples in 65 different countries.  According to Schou, their highest-demand sample is of a male with dark hair and dark eyes, though most couples try to match their partner with their donor.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
