Remember the report saying that cocksuckers and pussy lickers with more than five oral sex partners are 250% more likely to get oral cancer?

Well, Out wants to know what you're going to do about it. The way we figure, we're probably already fucked, so might as well go out and get cum faced...

(PS: That picture's sick. Everyone knows semen congeals within minutes. Either this model's partner had quite a load or he had more than five contributors. Or, of course, he likes curdles.)

Ann Coulter and Isaiah Washington may want to take note of Josh Kilmer-Purcell's new column in Out. Fed up with the miscommunication and inappropriate faggot flinging, the homo-journo's penned an uproarious satire on the ins and outs of befriending bent boys (extreme example pictured).

One of the most common mistakes, Kilmer-Purcell says, stems - um - straight from sissy salutations:

...Common in some areas of our great nation is the greeting “You dirty little faggot.” This is especially vexing for your fags. They are, after all, a very meticulous species and will begin to self-loathe if their hygiene is called into question. Same with “motherfucking faggot.” Given his unnaturally close relationship with his domineering mother, you can understand why this might be considered inappropriate.
...
Always appropriate is the greeting “You goddamn fucking faggot.” Even your savviest fag cannot dispute that God does, in fact, damn fags and that all they ever do is fuck, occasionally breaking to cut your hair.

Follow these simple suggestions, and you and your faggot can have a long, loving relationship.

If not, you'll have a 'mo mutiny on your hands. And you really, really don't want that. Faggots may seem like docile creatures, but those bitches fight dirty. We're talking fists, claws and, quite possibly, some skin searing hair remover. You've been warned...

While we're on the subject of fag-rags, Media Daily News has issued a report on the decline in readership for two of the biggies: The Advocate and Out Magazine. While both titles have seen a boost in subscriptions, ad revenue's not looking so hot.

...The Advocate appears to be building its subscription base, adding about 14,000 subscribers in the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. That's 16.4% growth... In October, ad pages fell 23.3% compared to the same month last year, while rate-card revenue was down 3%. For the year to date, ad pages are down 14.4% from the same period last year, while rate-card revenue fell 2.3%.

Meanwhile Out...has seen ad pages fall 8.3% and rate-card revenue 3.4% for the year to date. That's despite healthy 11.8% year-over-year growth in subscriptions according to ABC, ending around 122,000 in the first half of 2006.

The report cites the internet and the rise of gay cable stations, i.e.: Logo, as the primary factors for the fall. Of course, this information can't be used as a marker for all gay publications, because The Advocate and Out are the only ones who submit such numbers. Why? Because despite the recent set-backs, they're still the biggest kids on the gay publishing block.

Regardless, we sure do feel bad for the kids in the ad department...

Reality television shows usually have room for one or two big personalities in each series. This season’s Project Runway, which unbelievably we’re loving more than season one, is full of those personalities. However, Santino Rice definitely steals the show. The Los Angeles designer caught up with Bradford Shellhammer to discuss the show, his sexuality, and who really was the world’s first supermodel.

What are your New Year's resolutions?
To live, to learn, to love, and to leave a legacy! Persevere, keep trying new things...to keep evolving. To change my world!

Some of the self-proclaimed "faggoty boys" from the show told us 
you're this season's Wendy Pepper. Why would they say such a thing?
My mom says they're just jealous, but she's been saying that to me since I came out the snatch! I think those guys were just being "cute," they know damn well that I’ve got talent and I’m the real deal. I think it's funny though, really man, nothing's sacred, including me! I'll take the piss out of myself before I let some bitter opinionated faggots try to read me!

Is Janice Dickinson really the world's first Supermodel? Do you care?
I'd say what about Veruschka, Penelope Tree, and Twiggy! What about Lauren Hutton, Cheryl Tiegs, Jerry Hall.......Patti Hansen!!!!! I'd say and think of a lot of other names before her file came up in my brain! But god bless her. Shit. People gotta eat and as far as her 15-year-old audience is concerned, she could tell them she invented the "blow-job" and no one would really question that! And yeah, I guess I do care, I’m a caring kind of guy!

What designers do you consider inspirations?
Any designer who is creating their vision, creating a body of work, I find them hugely inspirational. Yohji Yamamoto is the shit! I love him, and I’ve seen many successful collections by many designers and you can't help but store some of that in your memory bank.

Which do you absolutely hate?
Hate is a pretty strong word, especially directed toward someone who's actually doing something with his or her life, I hate idleness, and I hate mediocrity! I can't justify hating on another artist, regardless of what I think about their shit!

After the jump Santino tells us whether he's into guys or girls.

We had a blast at the Out 100 party Friday night, mingling with stars and friends alike. As Perez reports, Sharon Stone's speech was a bit, um, off.

We saw our pals Dan Renzi, Jason Bellini, and Kim Stolz and met many pretty fabulous people. Check out some Flickr photos: here and here. And also check out Patrick McMullan’s site. You just might catch our editor in a photo or two.

Thanks for the invite Out!

A little dirty birdie sent us this note about the LPI/PlanetOut merger.

In reporting on the PlanetOut/LPI acquisition, I'm sort of surprised NO ONE in the media (especially you) has picked up on the fact that in the acquisition of Out and Advocate, PlanetOut(the first publicly traded gay company) now owns Alyson Publishing(who did Camper's book, but mostly publish Erotica) as well Freshman, Unzipped, and Men Magazine.

In short: Gay Porn hits NASDAQ big time!

• We're not into golden showers, but according to the IMDB "before success as an actor, Jake Gyllenhaal worked as a lifeguard. He never had any life-saving incidents, but did perform one lesser rescue. A swimmer had been stung on the leg by a jellyfish, and Gyllenhaal helped relieve the pain of the stings -- by urinating on the swimmer's leg." Thanks SloppyJoe.

• Some gays over on Gay.com give advice on pick-up lines that actually work. One states “Just stare at me until we make eye contact.” Because that’s hot, not creepy.

• Um, why weren’t we invited to this?

• Out is about to release its OUT 100 list of the people who have made significant contributions to gay life. They are also throwing a party tonight and we’re going. Mission: meet Sharon Stone.

• Classic Toby has returned: “If there's one thing I like, it's a muscle-bound stud who casually wears a jockstrap stuffed with the trappings of a mid-90s rave. “ Thank God.
