Hello everyone,



Did you know that the communist state of Slabovia (www.slabovia.tv) is up for a Webby? We've also got a shot at winning the People's Voice, but that requires votes... hence this blog. And voting ends on the 30th, so swift action is required!



Slabovia's dictator, General Schmerdiakov, is insisting that I post this blog and ask that you good folk of 38 minutes spend a minute helping him win the Webby and move one step closer to world… Continue
