California Cryobank, a Los Angeles sperm bank, has launched a new feature on their Web site: Donor Look-a-Likes. The purpose is to give infertile couples a better idea of what their donor looks like without disclosing actual images.
Some pinch-hitting dads include: “Aaron Eckhart, Jake Gyllenhaal, Errol Flynn[,] a ‘young’ Russell Crowe, Tom Brokaw, Tiger Woods, Stephen Colbert, Lance Bass and Adam Carolla.”
Our question? Where are the ugly donors? Are they prescreening for Clooney-types–which would be discrimination–or are there some Paul Giamatti and Carrot Top-types floating around in the back? (We realize that frozen semen doesn’t float.)
Also conspicuously absent? Non-white men.
But beyond that, let’s call this what it really is: typical L.A. emphasis on looks, minus authenticity.
