Oh, so this is how you boost your blog stats

There was me naively thinking it had something to do with posting regularly, and writing the occasional bit of intelligent political commentary.

Well, I'll let you in to a secret... Actually, all you need to do, it seems, is write an article about the gay subtext in the Harry Potter books - here are just a few of the search terms which led folk to my gaff today:

sirius remus subtext
harry potter gay character
gay characters in harry potter
harry potter gay character
harry potter subtext
coded gay remus lupin
harry potter lupin and tonks

Oh, and to the person who arrived at this blog via the search term “i love stephen tall”, can I just say: thank you.

I'd have thought it would draw more people in to declare that you yourself were gay. Then you'd have sympathisers dropping in to say "Don't make no difference to most", homosexuals saying "We're behind you" (no pun intended), and fundamentalist Christians or Muslims declaring their intentions to slice your genitalia off.

I am simply astonished that anyone is bored enough to want to consider whether there are enough gay characters in children's fiction.

This subject is so irrelevant to 99.9% of the world's population that it is simply beyond measurement.

Why not consider why there are no Burmese characters, or none with one leg?

Really, anyone interested should troll along to the 'life' store and buy one for themselves.

I am now horrified to realise that this includes me...

Yes, I do enjoy trawling through the site stats. Our innocent comedy website is quite regularly visited by people searching for 'dirty myspace boob graphics' and 'dirty menstrual', although what might prompt you to use either of those as a search term is beyond me.

Other recent highlights have included "barry scott - porn", "boob flexer", "blondes are better whores" and "dirty whores doing dirty things". As well as the smartarse who searched for "this will mess up your site stats".
