The company has since told me that even though the site was up, it was not fully ready until later in the day. But if you’re going to open yourself up and have the AP blow your horn, people are going to come poke around!

Anyways, good to hear that everything’s working now and that some people are loving it. I’ll give the Don Was channel another look.

“Missed out on Funny Or Die? Still pouting over YouTube? Fear not… For a mere 10 million you can get in on the ground floor of a new online video site showcasing the work of Hank Azaria and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. The kids will eat it up. Sold!

It has some British pro-comics (if not exactly anyone in Will Ferrell’s league) and the novelty-value of live crowd-voting, to ‘gong-show’ clips off as they’re playing.

There’s isn’t quite the same frat-comedy culture in the UK, but the net effect seems to be the same – a lot of low ratings.

Of course, when it comes to art (comedy, film, music, etc.) everyone’s a critic…
