There's not a queen alive who hasn't heard about the wonderful internet bathhouse Manhunt. In fact, it's gotten us laid more than once. So why is the site branching out in crazy directions?
First we started seeing ads for the service pop up on phone booths and bus stops in the gayer neighborhoods of New York. That seems normal enough. Sure, the site is ubiquitous, but there is more and more competion each day from the iPhone application Grindr and free services like Adam4Adam, but then something really strange happened. We started seeing it in straight spaces.
First we spotted it on the website for UK's trashy Mirror newspaper where we go every morning for the deliciously mean gossip from the 3am Girls.
That makes a bit of sense. They must be trying to branch out over the pond where Gaydar has the hookup dominance. Then we saw it on the website for Miami's NBC affiliate, where we went to read a story about a TSA employee who got arrested for beating someone up because they said he had a small cock.
The reason we were there was crazy, but not as crazy as a manstream new outlet's website having a super homosexual ad on it. Who do they think is going to click on that? Are all sorts of straight girls going there trying to find Mr. Right and then screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!" the first time they see a spread cheeked profile picture with the blossom peeping out? But this is the craziest. Here it is on Sports Illustrated's website.
Our friends over at Outsports pointed this out. Don't they know that every homo who already likes sports already has a Manhunt handle with the word jock in it? What do they think that the straight guys reading SI are going to think, "Hm, I'm sick of all these vaginas. Maybe I should click on this and suck some dick after my fantasy football draft. Yeah, that sounds fun."
We wish Manhunt the best of luck in their new campaign (which features delicioso Austin Wilde). We have a feeling they're barking up the wrong tree, but the first time we suck some novice straight boy's dick thanks to an ad on Sports Illustrated's site, we'll be eating our words along with his cock.
