Lowest marketing ploy ever

Post by Toxic »

Filmmaker Vincent Gallo to sell sperm for $1,000,000.

I hope that site isn't serious. :-?

And who would pay $1,000,000? Buffalo '66 wasn't even that great.

You'd think people could find better things to do with $1,000,000.

Perhaps buying a green dress... but not a real green dress, that's cruel.

You know, if you're really in the market, it's not that difficult to find a guy who'd give you theirs for free.

I think I know what this guy's doing. If he puts a giant price tag on something, someone will buy it. Apparently, he can't get any in real life.

If the purchaser of the sperm chooses the option of natural insemination, there is an additional charge of $500,000. However, if after being presented detailed photographs of the purchaser, Mr. Gallo may be willing to waive the natural insemination fee and charge only for the sperm itself.

if he sells his sperm he's not really "getting any" the turkey baster used to, let's say "deliver" the sample is the one getting some.

Uh, that'd be the whole part about "an extra $500,000 for natural insemination, but free if she's really hot".

Maybe they'll do it in Nevada. Everything's legal there.
