6.2 MILLION VIEWS IN TWO DAYS ON http://WWW.FUNNYORDIE.COM

       Video Debut Marks Comedy Site's Busiest Day in Company History



    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7 /EMWNews/ -- While Paris Hilton's spoof campaign

ad on Funny or Die may not lead to an increase of pink paint sales in the

nation's capital come this November, one thing is certain -- Funny or Die

has the hottest viral hit on the web. Since its release two days ago, the

video has been viewed over 6.2 million times, and driven site visits to

their highest level in company history.



    "We are excited that this piece has become a hot topic for both the

media and the public and we find it insane that Paris has the country

discussing energy policy," said Adam McKay, co-founder of Funny or Die, and

creator of the Hilton spoof.



    Funny or Die (http://www.funnyordie.com) is an award-winning website

that has become one of the top destinations for comedy on the web. Since

its launch over a year ago, Funny or Die has had over 213 million video

views, over 37 thousand videos uploaded, and averages 3.2 million unique

visitors per month. While the award-winning debut video "The Landlord"

continues to cement its place in internet history as one of the most-viewed

videos of all time, Funny or Die has achieved success as the "place to be

seen" for comedic celebrities, and the "place to go" for a daily comedy

fix. Funny or Die's founders are Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy.

Judd Apatow is one of the site's principal partners.
