IQ Interactive Special Report - E-content Romp 'n Roll

Eric Eisner and Bruce Forman bring their raucous point of view to the Web.
In an age in which interactive visionaries have turned “thinking outside the box” into personal mission statements, Eric Eisner and Bruce Forman, co-founders of Los Angeles-based The Romp (romp.com), a self-described “freewheeling entertainment destination cut from the unruliness and irreverence of the Internet,” seem to have a different–if equally ambitious–agenda in mind. Let’s call it “trawling in the sewer.”
Then again, the two surprisingly reticent twentysomethings, whose Flash 4-, Shockwave 8- or QuickTime 4- dependent URL launched in April and went live in May, might just represent a new generation of artists both inside and outside Hollywood who, perhaps for good reason, see no-holds barred animation, videos and games on the Internet as The Next Big Thing.
The Romp represents a high-speed pursuit with Beavis & Butt-head at the wheel and Limp Bizkit on the CD.
