Many Chinese have joked about selling their
kidneys for Apple products but it seems there is a
better and less riskier alternative. A sperm bank in
Shanghai, China is inviting qualified college
graduates over 5’5 tall and free of disease to
donate sperm in exchange for money to buy an
iPhone 6S.
"No need to sell a kidney…Shanghai sperm bank
can make your iPhone 6S dream come true," the
ad reads."
The sperm bank ad, which is offering to pay $942
for 17 milliliters of semen, has generated massive
social media conversation. Sperm banks are
hoping the pitch, which comes ahead of the
release of the iPhone 6S on 25 September, will
help fix a shortage in donors.
The Shanghai Sperm Bank is promising 6,000
yuan for 17 millilitres of semen for those who
qualify to donate. Donors needs to be university
educated, disease-free and over 5 foot 5.
"This is going to make me really suspicious of
anyone with an iPhone 6S" said one user on
Weibo, China’s Twitter.
According to a spokesperson with the Shanghai
Sperm Bank, the campaign has worked well so
far, raising awareness and attracting potential
donors, the state news agency Xinhua reported.
A poll conducted on Sina Weibo shows that
Chinese social media users are split on the
appropriateness of the campaign with close to
20% calling it unseemly and another 27% saying
they will donate immediately. "I need the address
to Hubei Sperm Bank now please" said one user.
