Did I see a thread about this before? I don’t quite recall. Anyway, director Vince Gallo is offering up his [sperm](http://vgmerchandise.com/misc.html) for insemination purposes for a million bucks a shot (so to speak). 1. The million is for artificial insemination, but he offers “natural insemination” (i.e. he’ll fuck you) for an additional $500,000. Is this not solicitation of prostitution? He’s offering to exchange money for sex after all. 2. He reserves the right to refuse his sperm “to those of extremely dark complexions. Though a fan of Franco Harris, Derek Jeter, Lenny Kravitz and Lena Horne, Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration.” Is he violating civil rights laws? ---

Well, after successfully making a movie for the sole purpose of having Chloe Sevigny suck you off, and some people buying it as “artsy”, I suppose it’s all downhill from there. ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Is he violating civil rights laws? I’d say he’s doing darker-complected folks a favor by guaranteeing to leave their gene pool free of Gallow-gas… Vincent Gallo has always come off as an incredibly creepy, slimy, saponaceous, oleaginous…creature of some sort. Like Gollum, the evil oil slick from Next Generation, and Shub-Niggurath had a child that looked like Marcel Marceau being possessed by Oscar Wilde in a leather phase. ---

Some people would consider that a great success. I doubt Chloë Sevigny is one of them, of course. ---

> [@CynicalGabe](#): > > Perhaps, but it was certainly the high point. :smack: Now I get it. Anyway, if there’s no other reason, you’d have to wonder if Gallo will escape prosecution because it’s hard to believe this “offer” is being taken seriously by anyone, including the man himself. I’m sure this is the most ridiculous case this argument has ever been used in, but since Gallo is an, um, private producer of sperm and probably not being funded by the government, I guess he’d be allowed to sell it to whoever he wants. ---

But the owner of a lunch counter can’t refuse to sell food to a customer on the basis of skin color, and the lunch counter isn’t being funded by the government either. ---

I have a plan. Gallo says: **Mr. Gallo will supply sperm for as many attempts as it takes to complete a successful fertilization and successful delivery** Well if my dog takes up the offer, being canine and all, it would consign him to producing swimming pools full of Gallo sperm. Surely that will stop him annoying us with his “art”. Anyone willing to contribute? ---
