So, has reality TV gone too far?

Quote:

Germans can tune in to a television reality show this week that breaks new ground in trashiness ... Sperm Race. Twelve men will compete to see which one has the "fastest" sperm.

The contestants, who include two German celebrities and a health freak, begin by donating sperm in a clinic, say the programme's producers, Endemol.

The sperm will then be frozen and sent to the company's studio in Cologne, where the sperm will "race" towards an egg - lured by a chemical that encourages them across the finishing line.

Wow, this is a good example of why I don't watch television. What will they come up with next? Perhaps a burrito eating contest, and the winner is the one who ahem... finishes the digestive process first?

The one thing I'd find amusing about the whole "sperm race" concept, would be if they use an actual human egg as the lure. I just know that some conservative religious group will accuse them of murder if the egg isn't subsequently implanted into a surrogate and allowed to develop to term. The news stories from the inevitable religious protests would be a hoot.

It's quite simple really.

Get a female host with nice cleavage who doesn't mind showing it off. Maybe during the course of the show accidently spill water on her.

Oh, then there's always lets recap what just happened before the commercials, the lets explore every details of the contestants' lives, and the repeat the same thing for twenty minutes but in a slightly different matter technique.
