The album title references an internet URL which, at the time of release, was a TISM-owned domain name. However, the site does not exist at the time of writing (2004).
The album consists mainly of standard TISM songs, parodying popular culture and engaging in toilet humour. The album also demonstrates a "serious" attempt by the band to divide Australian male culture into two groups - "yobs" (yobbos) and " wankers". This is best demonstrated in the lyrics of the first single, "Whatareya":
You're a yob, or you're a wanker
Take your f---ing choice
So who is your favourite genius
The rest of the song continues in a similar vein, including such distinctions as "The wanker fights class prejudice/The yobbo...just fights."
Other targets on the album are nightclub culture ("Dumb and Base"), Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath ("The Ballad of Glenn McGrath's Haircut") and the Thunderbirds ("Thunderbirds Are Coming Out"). The videos released for singles included "Whatareya", in which the band invaded an exercise video, and "Thunderbirds Are Coming Out", featuring made-up bands parodying particular acts singing the song.
As an added extra, the CD features a program which can be activated by inserting it into a computer drive. This program asks the user whether he or she wants to continue - repeatedly. Eventually, it responds "OK then. Downloading virus." No virus is actually downloaded, and this is another example of the band's warped humour.
