Sperm Donation - Why are there ads everywhere?

Every time I open the MIT Tech (the bi-weekly student newspaper) I see those huge ads for sperm donation:

If the compensation is that good, why do they have to advertise so much? Aren't there enough donors? What are the legal issues?

ill-advised strategy

Donors will be reimbursed $75 per specimen and up to $900 a month by donating 3 times a week. We periodically offer incentives such as movie tickets or gift certificates for extra time and effort expended by participating donors.

heh...they better take me to a movie. I'm not a slut.

SHIT! the market is good there.

in boulder you can only make like 100 a month, and it requires a long-term commitment.

Damn...i mean if you're just gonna flush 'em down the toilet, might as well get some money out of it.

Well for one, they want that high-iq semen of those mit types.

I think it would be pretty weird to possibly be the father of tons of children without knowing it. There is also a thing on the site which says that it may disclose your identitiy to a child you father when the child comes of age if they want to know. Personally, I dont want somebody 19 years down the road knocking on my door claiming to be my kid.

From the site:
# If, at the age of eighteen or older, the child of a recipient requests additional information about the genetic father, we will make all reasonable efforts to supply that information either from our records or by attempting to contact the donor.

I still don't see why they can't have a hot nurse help you with the uh, process.

At $900 a month, you could probably bring your own every now and then.

Either that, or sit on your left hand until it falls asleep.

I wonder what the economics of this are ... Maybe I can write a paper about this.
