Friday, October 28, 2005
Cracked Entertainment, Inc., parent company and publisher of the 47-year-old
national humor publication Cracked Magazine, has relaunched
Cracked.com. Jack O'Brien will the Editor of Cracked.com and an Associate
Editor of the print magazine. Jack comes to Cracked.com from ABC News, where
he was a Production Associate on PrimeTime Live. The company's redesign
of Cracked Magazine is also underway and will be making a return to newsstands
in early 2006.
"The new Cracked.com is more than just a website to promote the print magazine. It
is a destination site for original comedy content as well as a humor publication
in and of itself," said Cracked CEO Monty Sarhan. "We expect Cracked.com to become the home for comedy,
satire and parody on the Internet. But more than that, we want it to be a comedy
community."
Here are some of the new features on Cracked.com according to the news release:
Updated five days a week, the completely revamped Cracked.com includes a host
of new features, including "Celebrity Blogs," spoofs, web comics, animated and
live-action films and messageboards where users can discuss comedy and entertainment,
pop culture, the number of celebrity poker shows that cable television can support at
any one time, cat shows, Dick Cheney's lip curl, Paris Hilton's sex tape, Supreme
Court nominations, determining who the father of Katie Holmes' spawn actually is,
British dental care, muffin recipes, rising gas prices, Scientology and silent
births (what, no epidural?), Burt Reynolds' hair (or lack thereof), rugby versus
football, knitting, Al Pacino's constant yelling, sumo wrestling, nipple slips,
winning at roulette, masturbation techniques and other weighty matters of global
importance.
