haaaaaaaah
how strange...
perhaps it will inspire a new festival called Spunkfest!
*Sadpunks
hahaha
thats crazy that is. hmmmm i cant decide whether thats a good idea or not, i wonder how many wanks u need to have before u get a full weekend ticket as opposed to a day ticket haha
I'm actually wondering whether I should do that
^ has the right idea
i would
totally do that
i would've done this, but...
haven't they changed the law recently so that kids born from donated sperm have a right to find their biological fathers?
^ hot dang!
yes, the law did change.
Oh well, i'll fork out the £100 then
That's in the UK
This is for Ireland who might have different laws
the sperm is going to Ireland though.
but when they changed the laws here it afffected previous doners, didn't it?
the same could happen there.
probably
to be fair, i say i'd do it but i don't think i would. I'd rather do it to be altruistic rather than for festival tickets, for which i wouldn't struggle to pay anyway
I'm tempted
for real
Donating sperm to the Irish
NO JOKES
just checked
and you can remain anonymous or choose to be non-anonymous. Certain countries (incl. UK) are non-anonymous donation only.
Ireland does not equal UK = festival tickets
i wish i had sperm :(
reece?
oh man
i'm tempted
Is free Latitude Festival worth some kid showing up 20 years down the road begging for financial and emotional support? It is a hard decision.
if that happens you could end up together with the mother
like some kind of romcom.
WOW!
I am going to give this some serious thought. I've just booked flights to Copenhagen to go to Roskdile Festival again.
Roskilde tickets are £167.50 on seetickets.com!
That's a large wad of cash. Did I say wad? Sorry....
yeah its really annoying....
see tickets add a whopping 12.50 booking fee and £4 post. I actually phoned up to ask why and how they justified it- they said 'you wouldnt go in to a shop and see the price tag of something and then argue that it's not worth that'
i pointed out that if the coat had £150 printed on it and the shop tried to charge me 16.50 just for bringing it to their till and putting it in a bag they were damn right i would haggle. Still really want to go tho...
More wankers at festivals
awesome.
^ Epic
win
CREAMFIELDS
good effort
im actually doing this
Jizz in the park?
There's bound to be a catch
things can't be that easy.
The catch is when a little ginger child called Seamus
turns up on your doorstep in 2026 and demands that you pay their way through Trinity College Dublin!
terms and conditions
COMPLETE ANONMITITJFDHUTY FTW
Damn that ginger fucker
^ you don't
have to pay contributions from being a sperm donor.
You can, however, probably get tracked
the terms and conditions say its anonymous
thats good enough for me
but if the laws changed
you'd probably then be able to get traced (as someone ^^ mentioned)
yeah but they couldnt really do much other than say hey
you ejaculated into a cup and then i was born...
^ perhaps not
but i think that could be quite shocking from a psychological perspective: "hi biological Dad, i'm 17, you've never met me and now i'd like to know you".
I'd rather spend the 110 bucks to be honest
OTOH
it's the perfect excuse to hang out with 19 year olds.
except... that university is free in ireland.
love it
Moments like this I wish I wasn't infertile...
Moments like this I wish I wasn't a girl...
You should sue for sexual discrimination...
that was my first thought too
reckon they'd take some eggs instead?
I've ordered a pack
Providing I'm not firing blanks, and this isn't utter bullshit, I should get a ticket to End of the Road.
GO YOU
hmm...
Is it on a first come first served basis?
There's no way this is real, right?
Surely they have to have some tighter controls?
I mean. Sperm banks might want sperm. But they don't want it dripping in AIDS and whatnot.
Ha! I'm sorry....,your sperm is woefully disease ridden
...we appreciate the effort though, so here's a day ticket to V!
they test it for 6months it says
if you fail i think you still get the ticket but probably also get notified that you are GOING TO DIE
buuuuuuuuut
wouldn't that be stupid amounts of expensive?
I mean. Surely, at actual donor clinics they can weed out the morbidly obese/bleeding out of every orifice people.
its clearly a spoof
see the news article for someone chattin' bout the registration of the domain and stuff
i say clearly
but i was considering it for a few minutes before a little looking into it made it obvious
damn
i wanted it to be true so much
I've heard that while you get a free ticket
you still have to put down a deposit.
Organ donors go free....
will be next, surely.
the font just got
quite a bit bigger for the main post, didn't it? Or have I changed it to be 125%?!
How fast does the fast courier service have to be, I thought they died instantly.
