This story saddens me, because I have a friend who has a red head fetish. (That's actually the only other human being I know who has a fetish other than me. I know several hundred people, at least.)
I don't have a red head fetish, but I see the obvious appeal - they're different, I think the brain pauses longer on the color RED than any other color, so they're more noticeable.
(I was reading how Stan Lee, creator of The Hulk, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, etc. gets asked more about Spiderman than any other comic book. Also how Superman is DC's most recognizable hero. Both have large amounts of red in their costumes, which stands out against a mostly gray city skyline. Also why most fans have fonder memories of Richard Donner's Superman than the newer "hip" versions - the newer versions want to be all "dark" and shit, so they've taken out the red and made it more maroon. The darker colors blend in more with the backgrounds, making Superman stand out less, and the colors are a depressant. But I digress.)
I'm sad because I hear that red heads are slowly dying out. Don't know if that's true or not, but I guess they'll feel as sad as us pantyhose/stockings lovers do this last decade.
You see a woman under 90 wearing pantyhose, especially the suntan or flesh colored (thick black tights are useless for tickling!), and we want to die of a heart attack they're so RARE.
(In the last year, I've seen.....under 5 women wearing pantyhose. Out of thousands. And I make it around!)
So red head lovers....we're here for you guys when you need counseling!
World's biggest sperm bank, Cryos, tells redheads: We don't want your semen

The world's largest sperm bank is telling redheads to keep their semen.
Demand for ginger-haired donors is so low that Cryos International says they needn't bother donating.
"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," Ole Schou, the director of Cryos, told the Danish newspaper, Ekstrabladet, according to London's Telegraph.
Men with scarlett manes sell "like hot cakes" in Ireland, Schou said, but that's about it.
"I do not think you choose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads," he said, the Telegraph reported. "And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."
Men with brown hair and brown eyes are very popular, Schou noted.
Cryos ships sperm to more than 65 countries around the world, and donors can score up to $500 for their semen.
