Cracked Launches the New Cracked.com

Posted on 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.
