This Week's Sign of the Downfall

Premature E-speculation 

As reported last month, the first ever “sperm race” was held in L.A. on April 25, wherein sperm from two donors was placed on a microscopic track to see whose swimmers were fastest. The problem, however, was that people actually watched the event, including fertility specialist Steven Palter, who claims the livestream was fake, because the imagery was CGI, thereby putting Sperm Race’s creators in a sticky situation. Eric Zhu, the event’s founder, has since admitted that the “race” occurred before the show and that the televised version was a “reenactment,” but since people wagered real money on the spectacle, fans are pulling out. And now, many critics feel vindicated, because they knew all along that sometimes, men fake it, too.
