www.tism.wanker.com is the fourth studio album by TISM, recorded between May 1997 and January 1998 at Kiss, Seed and Sing Sing Studios (all in Victoria), and released 2nd June 1998 by Shock Records and genre b.goode.
The original CD edition of the album featured a bonus disc titled Att: Shock Records Faulty Pressing Do Not Manufacture; it also featured a CD-ROM component; when a user places the CD in the CD-ROM drive of their personal computer, a program launches, repeatedly asking the user whether they want to continue. Eventually, the program jokingly responds: "OK then. Downloading virus."
The album shared its name with the URL of the band's official website at the time, a subdomain of "wanker.com" (registered by a person overseas), as TISM were not able to purchase their preferred domain, "wanker.com.au", due to Australian domain name regulations. The website featured a message board where members of the band kept in touch with fans throughout the year. The website was taken down several months after launch (apparently because the web hosting fees were not paid) and has not been available since.
www.tism.wanker.com peaked at number 26 on the ARIA charts, and was nominated for Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 1998. TISM promoted the album with the release of the singles "Yob", "I Might Be a C*nt, But I'm Not a Fucking C*nt", "Whatareya?" and "Thunderbirds are Coming Out", and the Impossible Poonces live tour, with notable performances at Homebake in 1998 and the Big Day Out in 1999.
In 2009, it was released digitally on iTunes, with nine bonus tracks from the band's previously unheard 1996 No Penis - No God "gospel" sessions. In November 2022 it was reissued on CD and blue-coloured vinyl; the CD edition featured five of the six songs from the 1998 bonus CD, as well as the B-side "Drop the Tude".
In celebration of the album's 25th anniversary, in May 2023 TISM released a seven LP vinyl box set, informally referred to as the Wanker Box, featuring the original 12 track album with twelve tracks from the 1998 bonus CD, as well as B-sides, alternate mixes and more than a dozen previously unreleased songs and demos from the album's recording sessions. Two additional compilations of instrumentals and outtakes, Wanker Instrumentals and Wanker Residuum, were released digitally to promote the box set.
== Att: Shock Records Faulty Pressing Do Not Manufacture ==
A "blank" CD with the words "Att: Shock Records Faulty Pressing Do Not Manufacture" crudely written in texta came with original pressings of www.tism.wanker.com. Although designed to look blank, it in fact featured 21 bonus tracks, a selection of excerpts from a recorded conversation between Ron Hitler-Barassi and Humphrey B. Flaubert, diatribes and poems from Ron, and a handful of additional songs, including the fan favourite "Opposite Day". 
The bonus tracks were appended onto the iTunes version of www.tism.wanker.com in 2009, with the No Penis - No God tracks following them. The "conversation" tracks were appended onto the titled tracks. Most stores thought the CD was actually a faulty pressing, and sent it back unopened. It is not included with the FMR release of wanker.com, or the 2023 CD or vinyl reissues (although the actual songs from the CD are appended onto the latter reissues). 
The tracks "The Last Australian Guitar Hero", "Kate - Fischer of Men" and "I'd Be Happier If I Was More Depressed" appear as B-sides of (in order) the "Yob", "I Might Be a C*nt, But I'm Not a Fucking C*nt" and "Whatareya?" singles.
