Funny Or Die Launches Funny Or Die News Flash App For iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch

LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Funny Or Die, the top destination for comedy on the web and mobile, today launched a free news app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Funny Or Die News Flash, featuring today's top headlines laced with humor, can be downloaded here.

Funny Or Die News Flash curates the day's top stories so they're quick and easy to digest. Each story includes a headline accompanied by a looping video and a joke that satirizes the story. Quickly skim through topics and click through to full news articles. Consuming the news is now fast, fun, and sharable. The Funny Or Die News team, creators of Funny Or Die's popular topical videos and comedic commentary of real news and current events, will be overseeing all content for Funny Or Die News Flash.

"It seems like every reputable news outlet has a dedicated app. And now a non-reputable news outlet does, too," says Dan Abramson, Editor-in-Chief of Funny Or Die News.

A sampling of today's headlines include: "A recent survey found that 40% of Republicans don't believe in global warming. Ironically their rhetoric accounts for the majority of the world's hot air."  "Six Kansas school districts are ending the school year early because of budget cuts. Actually eight are closing, but the person who counted went to school in Kansas."

Funny Or Die News Flash is the second app Funny Or Die launched this year. Funny Or Die Weather launched in January 2015 and is available on both iOS and Android.
