Spermaharen ( The sperm hare) is a disused satire webbsite created by Tomas Alfredson, Robert Gustafsson, Johan Rheborg, Martin Luuk, Andres Lokko, Jonas Inde, Henrik Schyffert, Lars Sundh andDavid Sundin.

It was available at the adress  www.spermaharen.com  as a part of the portal Passagen. The content of the website has since been compiled and published in book and DVD form.The responsible pulisher was Henrik Schyffert. Spermaharen's URL is now linked to a third party link site, not to the original site.

During the years Spermaharen existed as a site new content was published every day and much of the material had an up-to-date and social commentary feel. Spermaharens humor was often excluding and "often next to incomprehensible, but all the more loved by those who understood, or at least thought they understood".

Controversies
Spermaharen tried the limits of what one is allowed to write about public figures and organizations. The editors deliberately had a very high level of tolerance when selecting ideas. The only criterion for censorship was if someone felt that he could not go home to his wife if the joke was published. This attitude led to several high-profile controversies. Schyffert himself admitted that the site sometimes crossed the line. A big media debate ensued, with over 30 articles on the subject. Aase Berg, culture editor at Sveriges Radio (Swedish radio) and columnist at Metro, suggested that one should respond to the provocations by hating back.
