MySpace uses awesome tech to send ads that are focused on your demographic. So, as a self-identified gay male, I get ads for sex-cruising sites. Naturally.

I don't hit up the sites -- in Los Angeles, a gay man needn't cruise the Internets to get laid, he need only walk outside and ask someone -- but from my days at the big Gay house I know a lot about them.

And judging by those pictures, full of about 30,000 hot, mid-20s hotties.

The infamous Perez Hilton would cruise the cyber world for a handy-j and some salty mouth rinse using either photoshopped pics, or relics from his days at a Miami-area high school's Glee Club. I bring up this year-old story as a cautionary tale in consumer watch-dogism. Go ahead, fork over the credit card digits for access to a database of regional and ready smut and sluts, but don't bank on the hotties above. They're probably working hard as congressional pages.
