"I invented newfunny.com!"
Al Gore
Newfunny.com has undergone many changes since I first created the site in August
2000. The over all look and feel has changed three times, and minor alterations
are constantly being carried in and out of the site.
I would like to elaborate on what I want to see happen to this site. Since it appears the days of web sites being bought out for ridiculously large amounts of money are for the most part over, I am forced to take a different approach that probably won't result in me owning a major league sports franchise in the foreseeable future. Here are the highlights of my plan.
Newfunny.com, the book: I've put a mixture of my weekly stories, bits and pieces of my own fantasy world, and a depressed monkey together into a medium length novel. I am in the process of finding a company to publish it in paperback format. Until that happens I've posted it on the web site for general consumption. Click here for more information.
HELP WANTED: I'm starting a search for new writers for content on the site. The "Star Trek: Voyager" series is going to be wrapping up in the near future. I would like to replace it with another weekly comedy series. Anyone who has an original comedy series suitable for the general population of the world should send me an e-mail at omar@newfunny.com.
FLASH Animation: The next stage for this web site is to expand into the world of cartoon animation. I envision a spot on the site for an original flash animation of the week. Any Flash animators interested in this proposition should get in touch.
Sketch Comedy: This is a little ways down the road, but I would like to start creating sketch comedy videos for the web site. This would kind of be a poor man's Saturday Night Live. Anyone interested in the Flash animation or the sketch comedy should read the Newfunny.com book as it explains what I want to have happen in extensive detail.
Well, that about sums things up. As always, feedback is always welcome.

Fighting Terrorism

Citing security concerns, officials at Pittsburgh International Airport recently dedicated a replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex by tearing the ribbon with their hands. In a totally unrelated story, FBI agents were called to the scene when passengers boarding a flight noticed a suspicious-looking individual attempting to fit a four-foot-long pair of novelty scissors in an overhead storage compartment.

Barrel Of Monkeys
February 27, 2008 Omar Lutfey
A report in the December 2007 issue of Animal Behavior claims male monkeys pay for sex with grooming services. After a twenty month observation of the monkeys, one researcher concluded, "Despite the rather conclusive evidence that monkeys pay for these services, we still advise the general public to avoid monkeys who try to pay for sex with a personal check."

Mouse Problems

Sixty passengers on a Disney cruise have fallen ill on the ship's latest voyage, prompting officials to bring aboard the former head of the Centers for Disease Control to oversee the cleanup operations. The Disney spokesman described the sickness as "like the flu" and said the symptoms are mostly vomiting and diarrhea. The outbreak started after the ship's muzac system jammed and played twelve consecutive hours of "Its A Small World."

Mile High Club

In the wake of record-high crude oil prices, one national newspaper reporter asked the President what can be done to conserve this limited resource. The Commander-in-Chief replied, "We all must do our part to conserve fuel. I, for example, have retracted my open invitation for Rush Limbaugh to travel with me on Air Force One."
