A new web-based video service has launched called My Damn Channel and like Funnyordie, a web video destination backed by Will Ferrell, it’s a site aimed at allowing entertaiment artists to do their own thing.
Former CBS Radio and MTV executive Rob Barnett has lined up some Hollywood names, including Harry Shearer, Andy Milonakis and Paul Reiser, to participate in the venture which gives “artists 100% creative control to develop their own brands and new storylines.”
In an interesting riff, one of the videos is a parody of “The Landlord” video hit on Funnyordie, which shows Pearl the landlord in the year 2027, capped by a bizarre musical theater number, presumably constructed just to show that “creative control” is precisely that — anything the artist wants to do.
