This is hilarious and landed in an in box of mine via a circuitous route that was interesting only in how news orgaizations find their source material. I’ve redacted all email addresses, but if this is you, or someone you know, you may want to contact Splash News press agency, and the irony in that name will become apparent upon reading the below email:

My request: Hi, I work for Splash News press agency which writes features for national publications worldwide. I am looking for a woman who successfully got pregnant using a turkey baster. The case study would need to be happy to be identified and photographed. The interview would be conducted in a very sensitive and positive way. I would be aiming to place this article in the features section of a national newspaper or a woman’s magazine.

The deadline has since passed, but it looks like a tough one to track down, so there may still be time. If this is you, then you could be famous.
