	<htmltext><p>This is obviously a blatant attempt at advertising a small, obscure blog with no obvious purpose but to promote itself. Although it may be the first time I can ever recall a gay website being promoted this way here. Although a lot of us gays are geeks, the vast majority of geeks (like the general population) are straight. So a rather puzzling place to be marketing a gay website. Worst part is that I can't actually figure out why this Fabulis blog even exists. It seems to be selling branded merchandise and nothing else. And also show that gay guys can't speel, an emplacation I vary much resent.</p></htmltext>
<tokenext>This is obviously a blatant attempt at advertising a small , obscure blog with no obvious purpose but to promote itself .
Although it may be the first time I can ever recall a gay website being promoted this way here .
Although a lot of us gays are geeks , the vast majority of geeks ( like the general population ) are straight .
So a rather puzzling place to be marketing a gay website .
