Funny or Die is Getting Into the News Business
Funny or Die has launched a shiny new division– Funny or Die News. Described as “where news junkies and humor fans can find common ground” the new section will cover the funny side of news. Think of it as The Daily Show for people who like to read.
In a welcome piece on the site, Editor-in-Grow-Penis-Easy-Clooney-Wedding Dan Abramson promises not to use SEO bating headlines like Penis, Clooney Wedding or Kardashian in the new current events section, but you might see some references to Obama. Like the new countdown clock till our next black President.
Some of the debut pieces on the site include “The Middle East, Why Shit Is So Fucked Up,” and “Is the Search for Flight MH370 Coming Back This Fall.” There’s also entertainment news and movie reviews, like “Review of Gone Girl From a Guy Whose Favorite Movie is Jurassic Park.” And of course, sports news. “This Week in Sucking Down Dicks: ESPN”
Read Dan Abrahmson’s full welcome piece, and a full slate of debut stories on FunnyorDie.com/news.
