Sperm donor reality show?
Billionaire television producer John de Mol, behind the pioneer show Big Brother, will test the limits of reality TV with a program in which a woman searches for a potential sperm donor to conceive a child.

His new TV station Talpa, launched earlier this month, confirmed it will air a program called "I want your child ... and nothing else!" but gave no further details about the show due at 1830 GMT Wednesday.

1. This has got to be a joke, right??????
Believe me, I'm skeptical here because there are so many stupid reality shows out there now. I wouldn't be surprised at this one!

2. There should be a subplot to see which RTL group will
be the first to protest and litigate on protecting the potential life of all those sperm. Maybe they can pick out the individual sperm cell which gets to impregnate.

3. I think they should do the opposite . . . impregnate her with sperm from
a donor, the reality show part comes in after she gives birth and has to find the real father from 20 candidates :)

6. The first test episode was aired last night.
I think it got 2 milion viewers, which is a lot in the Netherlands.
However, it is not certain the "sperm show" itself will actually air.
Yesterday viewers were presented with six possible TV formats, with names such as "give the whore a chance" about six former prostitutes who get money to set up a business, the sperm show mentioned before and four others I forgot.
Viewers will be able to vote through text message which show they want to see and that show will be turned into a series.

Ah, Holland! The country that gives "tasteless" a new meaning!
