Taking a year off from touring, TISM spent 1997 working on their next album with producer Lachlan Magoo. The album, "www.tism.wanker.com" (1998) was announced via a series of live Internet chats and webcasts. The first official music video for the album, "I Might Be A Cunt, But I'm Not A Fucking Cunt" was rarely broadcast. Returned and Services League of Australia head Bruce Ruxton wrote a letter of complaint to Shock Records describing it as "... Dropping standards through the floor into the proverbial sewer." The letter was published on TISM's website at the time.
