This documentary has it in the bag. (Sorry.)
Betcha never knew that sperm wear chinos. Even the miracle of life needs a makeover today. Discovery Channel’s The Great Sperm Race (airs June 21, discoverychannel.ca), a British-Canadian co-production is inspired by the fact that any given ejaculation can produce 250 million sperm, but only one “winner” will meet the egg. The squiggly journey of sperm through the female reproductive system is blown up into live-action battlefield proportions. The tongue-in-cheek, albeit factual, approach involves auditing your average couple getting down to business while actor/sperm—millions of them—wait down there in the dangling meatballs, preparing for battle.
