SpunOut.ie: Threesomes

There has been a lot of commotion in the past week or so over the SpunOut.ie article regarding threesomes. 

The problem some commentators had were that the unnamed author was using obnoxious language and was recommending that if a person is thinking about taking part in a threesome, they should do it with someone they either do not know or someone they have no feelings for.

Follow-up articles in the Irish Times and Irish Independent looked into what the "kids" actually know. This, I think, was the main problem that worried parents and others who spoke out against the article had.

The kids spoke about how other people their age (around the 15 year old mark) watched too much porn and expected relationships to be like this.

I have no issue with either of the sides of the argument, both in my opinion have valid points, I would just like to know why was it that the article on SpunOut.ie was unable to be loaded at the time of the debate which took place on The Late Late Show?

I tried on both my dodgy laptop and my super-fantastic mobile phone. Both came up with the same message that "This website can not be reached at this time".

The same article was perfectly accessible directly after the debate had finished, although it had been changed from the original that had been published.

Interesting much?
