We created a monster
Well, it appears our plan to populate the Flog with display ads for Gaybear Dating has produced some unexpected if not entirely unwelcome consequences.
The number one search term generating visits to the Flog is now “gaybear”. These visits are coming from all around the world, primarily southeast Asia–and at least a few have resulted in Mark receiving flattering invitations to visit Hanoi. We assume this attention is the result of a misunderstanding related to the numerous photographs of a bearded Mark that appear throughout the SLY.com site.
At this point, if Mark doesn’t cut back on the time he spends corresponding with his newfound long-distance suitors, we’ll have no choice but to remove all images of him–and his beard–from the website. Hopefully, that will stem the tide of come-ons and allow him to get back to the important work of smelling like Yukon.
