Taxes Got You Down? JibJab's Got the Laughs!; JibJab Launches JokeBox™, a Massive Online Joke Sharing Community with the Largest Collection of Video, Audio, Image and Written Email Jokes in the World
Business Wire, April 17, 2006
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- JibJab Media, the company that sent belly laughs flying around the Internet with its election animation "This Land," announced today the launch of JokeBox(TM) -- a place for people to get together online and share laughs.
"We think of JokeBox like MySpace meets Comedy Central," said JibJab brother and co-founder, Grevan Spiridellis. "We have over 25,000 video, picture and written jokes at JibJab.com and our community is over 640,000 people strong. We're thrilled that so many people are making JibJab the place to come and share laughs."
By signing up for a free JokeBox, members can store and organize their favorite funny emails in one place, share them with friends and discover the latest and greatest laughs online. Thanks to JibJab's patent-pending technology, members can easily add new jokes to their personal JokeBoxes by simply forwarding them to Jokes@JibJab.com.
The JibJab brothers dreamed up the idea for JokeBox after wishing that they had a place to store all the nutty email jokes that their dad sends them. After three months of beta testing, JokeBox is now open to the public and "Daddy JibJab's" JokeBox can be seen by the entire world at http://www.JibJab.com/dad.
> To help keep JokeBox free of porn, hatred, violence and other types of deplorable trash, JibJab has enlisted its long-term, most dedicated members to join a volunteer, community police force called "The A-Hole Patrol." Members of the "A-Hole Patrol" screen new jokes submitted by the community as well as those already in circulation that have been flagged as "offensive" by other JibJab members."Our dream is to make JibJab a place that connects people in ways that spread as much laughter as possible," said co-founder, Grevan Spiridellis. "What business in the world could be better than that?"
Getting a personal JibJab JokeBox is easy -- and FREE. Just visit http://www.JibJab.com to register and start sharing the laughs today.
About JibJab
JibJab Media Inc. is a comedy network and creative studio founded by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis in a garage in Brooklyn, NY in 1999 (despite the fact that starting a business in a garage is a really cliche thing to do). The company's political parodies "This Land" and "Good to be in DC!" were seen over 80 million times during the last Presidential election turning JibJab into an overnight household brand and leading Peter Jennings to name the brothers "People of the Year." They still can't believe it.
