Funny or Die

Having only heard of Funny or Die, and not actually been to the site before last week, I was very impressed by it. I have always liked when I see celebrities making appearances in web only content, and especially when the content is simply to laugh or poke fun at themselves. I believe that media is moving to the Internet and successful websites like Funny or Die show that money can be made using just the Internet. Personally, I would love be able to do away with cable and have every show I watch be on hulu or be streamed live when actually being shown. Money can still be made with online advertising, even enough to be able to branch out and create things for television being funded by the Internet. These new projects at Funny or Die to create longer more traditionaling length programs but still maintain their roots in the Internet means that this may be the direction that that we are heading and one day everything will be on the Internet through legitimate means. Also, the fact that some celebrities want to perform on Funny or Die means that this reality might not be that far off. Funny or Die covers it all and I have discovered one of my new procrastination website.
