Funny or Die Scores $3 Mil in Cash

Merry Christmas, Will Ferrell! The holidays came early for the comedian's website, Funny or Die. A single secret benefactor donated $3 million in cash to the online venture, reports the New York Daily News. The video site burst onto the scene in April 2007 with The Landlord, a short film that made apartment dwellers everywhere grateful that 2-year-old Pearl wasn’t rapping on their doors looking for back rent. Other notable videos included Paris Hilton’s bikini-clad retort to John McCain’s “celebrity” advertisement mocking then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and others starring celebrity contributors James Franco and Judd Apatow.
