As Romanian factory workers prepare to sell sperm to a fertility clinic to try to reduce their company's debt one begins to wonder if capitalism is helping to fulfill Ceausescu's dream of increasing Romania's population from 23 million to 30 million by the year 2000, or if it's simply fueling the countries recent increase in the illegal sale of babies.
My question is - what the hell do they do with all that sperm? I mean, since when is there a sperm shortage? Anywhere?

watch this if you want a surprisingly interesting take on what's up in modern-day romania. (hint: they export a lot of flesh to japan, and it doesn't get cooked.)

Having been all over Romania, there is a lot potential for that country. The mountains alone could be a great tourist destination, they need to oust the old-time politicians and get more creative thinkers in power.
Oh, and to get out of the car-building business. Selling sperm won't erase the fact that Romanian cars are the worst junk ever.
