Pros

DO

It is the magazine with some of the funniest and just plain best original content out there and this website showcases it all. And online it works brilliantly as a grab-bag of weird content that benefits from not being constrained by anything.

The great thing is they turn their eye to anything they think is funny or worth bringing to the world’s attention and now it is all here online for you to search and browse through.

Some highlights include Dos and Don’ts (LOL fashion disasters), Tidbits (weird stuff from around the world) and the new music reviews (all of which is great bitesize content almost built for web). They also have a photo blog, which charts debauched nights out. Also you get to see tits and i was in it once (with my hand on Andrew WK’s groin, see above).

Cons

DON’T

The homepage design isn’t the most inspired and it does lack a bit of breathing space before hitting you with all the content, so you don’t exactly know where to look first. Could maybe do with a slightly clearer hierarchy, although this is a minor point.

The content is more or less all available in the magazine, which is of course free, so if you come expecting a wealth of bonus content you might be left disappointed. But if you’ve read the whole mag cover-to-cover then you’re a bit of a geek.
