- Face it, George, bears are uninteresting to mainstream gay media.
- Only one mag and two or three 'zines focus on bears. What little
- market there is for such publications doesn't generate enough profits
- to be interesting to mainstream gay press. If you don't like it,
- do something about it, but just whining about it is as uninteresting
- to me as Marky Mark is to you.
