Sperm for tickets gets big response

An Irish scheme offering European music festival tickets in return for sperm donations has been overwhelmed by applications and paused accepting new ones.

Can you believe this? I'm finding it hard.

An Irish scheme to gather sperm donations in return for tickets to any European music festival has received so many applications that it's had stop accepting them for the moment.

A statement on the scheme's website says: "The purpose of this website was to test market interest through a pilot scheme. Applications for donation packs have far exceed the expectations. Our clients are calling a halt to the invitation to apply for packs and will review the results of the scheme to decide on how to proceed. If the clinic decide to proceed with the mail system after examining the results of the pilot scheme, all people who applied for donation packs will be contacted".

I can't quite work out who is behind all of it. But who would have thought you'd have to bribe people with festival tickets? If I were a man, I'd do it for a tenner...
