Naughty Flipside

Naughty, naughty, very naughty.

You know, I find good sites that do things wrong FAR more infuriating than bad sites that do things wrong. With bad sites you don't really care because they suck anyway. But with good sites you're frustrated because they could have been so much better.

Naughty Flipside looks the absolute business. Its presentation and look is so great and so unique, and it really doesn't look like any other studio-produced site that I've ever seen. It doesn't look like a porn site at all.

But it has one problem - what is it? It's all very well saying that it is 'alternative' and 'artistic' but what does that actually mean? What are they trying to achieve? I might have initially been willing to say that they may not know themselves.

However, I don't actually think that's the case. From the way they shoot the action and present it, it's quite clear that they know what they are trying to achieve and what 'alternative' can mean in this particular context.

So why don't they tell us?! They really are missing a huge point here. If you've got this site, and it looks like it could be a genuinely great and different hardcore site, then tell people exactly what it is and exactly what you are trying to get across.

They don't do this at any point. They just throw these words around and that's it. They're probably trying to be some kind of punk rock porn site by the looks of things, but some aspects here didn't fot that description.

Come on, guys, you know what you're doing - but tell us too!
