Announcing The Naked Loon
By The Tim on Apr 1, 2008 in projects
Time to unveil “Project Artichoke.”
The greater Puget Sound region now has a new source for… um… news, yeah that’s it, “news.”
It’s The Naked Loon, and it’s the latest project to come out of the Thatch Mound Labs.
Here’s what some of our beta testers had to say about The Naked Loon:
“Almost Live” meets “The Onion.”
- ChuckThe Naked Loon is better than a kick in the pants! Oh wait, no… no, it’s not.
- PeteThe Naked Loon is the worst website in the world. I beg of you, don’t waste your time!
- J.R.Libel. The Naked Loon is nothing but vicious, vicious libel. They will be hearing from my lawyers.
- Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels
Okay, I may have made one of those up.
But seriously, I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve created in The Naked Loon, and I think you’re really going to enjoy it.
For those of you with dirty, dirty minds, I would like to clarify something. Despite the promise alluded to in the site’s name, everything on The Naked Loon is 100% work-safe, and appropriate for general audiences. However, if you are behind a soulless corporate firewall that blocks sites just for having cool words like “naked” in the URL, we have a solution just for you: The [CENSORED] Loon. It’s the same site, just de-naked-ified.
Everybody loves parody, right? Except for humorless jerks. But really, who cares what they think? So anyway, go check out The Naked Loon. Your life may depend on it!
Yay for project Artichoke! But how is that site going to help you make money?

Advertising. And with luck, down the line, merchandising.

Censored Loon…haha, nice. :)
I’d love to buy merchandise about this website, and all I’ve read is the T-Rex friend spot.
